In October 1969, the Triumph 2000 Mk 2 range was launched, styled, like its predecessor, by Michelotti, and preparing the car for the 1970s. The front of the car now followed the lines of the then-upcoming Triumph Stag grand tourer. There were entry-level 2000 models, which were the most plentiful, but the remainder of the range consisted of 2500, 2500 TC and 2500 PI models. Apart from the PI model which was fitted with direct injection, all Triumph 2000 and 2500s had twin Stromberg or SU carburettors paired to the fruity 2. 5 litre straight-six engine. In June 1975 the 2500S model, with 14 inch alloy wheels and anti-roll bar, was added to improve the driving characteristics of the car. It replaced the 2. 5PI which had quietly disappeared from the show rooms two months earlier. This marked the end of fuel injected engines for the car, but improved acceleration was claimed for the twin carburettor 2500S and its slightly less expensive 2500TC sibling. These new versions featured an extensive list of other, mostly minor, improvements, of which the most significant were probably those affecting the ride and handling: these resulted from suspension changes including an anti-roll bar.
