TRIUMPH 2500 Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 396 TRIUMPH 2500s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 397 in 2025 Q3 — only 100% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 10 (2.6%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 47% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the 2500
The Triumph 2000 is a mid-sized, rear wheel drive automobile which was produced in Coventry by the Triumph Motor Company between 1963 and 1977. It was introduced on 15 October 1963. It was styled by Giovanni Michelotti. It competed with the contemporary Rover P6 2000, which initially was offered only with a four-cylinder engine. The Rover was also released in October 1963, just one week before the Triumph. Larger-engined models, known as the Triumph 2.5 PI and Triumph 2500 were also produced from 1968.
