I'm going to have to move on my Big Orange Bus after just over 13 years ownership. It would be nice to pass it on to a club member but there aren't that many on this side of the world ... and 2500s don't seem to have much of a market anyway. So, what are they changing hands for in the UK these days? Mine's certainly not perfect, but it's pretty damn good and has no significant rust. 1978 2500 S with Mk1 Pi engine Wade 'crazy' cam on SUs for now http://www.greeksinoz.blogspot.com Greeks in a Defender http://ofnofixedabode.wordpress.com |

That's a shame - how come you're selling up? I'd be interested but if I bring home another one my wife will kill me... Location: Adelaide, South Australia |

Seems like nobody sticking their necks out.... I reckon 3-4K? But I could be miles off! The register may be a better place to ask, though of course what people think a car is worth can be very different to what they will pay. Clive Senior |

Quoted from Llessur- Had horrendous rain and wind batter the house. Woke me up and couldn't get back to sleep. So got a cuppa and tried reading something slow and soporific. This forum sprang to mind! (hopefully it will be rectified in the near future from what I read in teh magazine and elsewhere on here) Clive Senior |

Serves you lot right for thinking you can replicate an Aussie summer. I didn't move 9000 miles across the world for the UK to suddenly start getting some sunshine... Fingers crossed on the forum front - it's a shame to see it in its current less than optimal state. Hope all is well with you and the family :) Location: Adelaide, South Australia |

Cheers Russel. On the plus side, there is nothing here on land that can kill you, and the sea is safe to swim in without fear of being eaten or poisoned. Yep, family all ticketyboo. Youngest in her last year of Uni. Time flies..... Clive Senior |

Quoted from cliftyhanger- Really? Even been driven over by a tractor, or seen what ends up in the sea around here??? :) Somewhere amongst all of these mega signatures, there might even be a post. |

Thanks guys... it seems the new forum doesn't alert me to responses I'm selling because the family really needs an air conditioned runaround and there aren't funds currently for three cars. Hopefully there'll be another Triumph in the future. Selling seems difficult at the moment though as it won't stop raining for long enough to take some decent photos! 1978 2500 S with Mk1 Pi engine Wade 'crazy' cam on SUs for now http://www.greeksinoz.blogspot.com Greeks in a Defender http://ofnofixedabode.wordpress.com |

Hi Graham, blimey, selling your Triumph...madness!
Mr Thompson interested when he gets back to Australia? Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run: Part of the organising team, and honoured to be associated 1970 TR6 Maroon. Bought May 2018. Since pruchase: Full suspension re-build, new clutch and propshaft plus re-built driveshafts. Goes well. Blimey, lots more done now, gearbox replaced (Canley Classics unit), 7J black minilites c/w Uniroyal tyres (Crikey, un-stickable), Revington's Targa springs. Now needs some engine work and some brakes. Otherwise, well on its way to becoming a Club Triumph type car, i.e. one that is actually used! Previously owned: Triumph Dolomite Sprint (Now owned by Paul Hughes) Herald 1200 Coupe on mk2 chassis (Now owned by Jess Cook and being properly used) Vitesse mk2 Conv: Sold in 1983, still on the road! Various Citroens and Pugs DD: Focus ST Diesel...torquey! |

Quoted from Greeks- Why not install AC? There have been factory installed big saloons with AC in Australia. I would think it would be very well possible seeing the amounts of space around the engine for a compressor. Take a look at VintageAir etc or CarBuilderSolutions.
