The Appeal

The Triumph 2500S Estate represents a seldom-seen chapter of British motoring history. Built at a time when large six-cylinder estates offered an appealing blend of performance, comfort and practicality, the model combined Triumph’s smooth straight-six engine with handsome Michelotti styling and impressive carrying capacity

As the range-topping version of Triumph’s executive-car line-up, the 2500S Estate delivered a more refined driving experience than many contemporary rivals, while retaining the versatility expected of a family estate. Surviving examples are now a rare sight on British roads, making well-presented cars increasingly sought after by enthusiasts of the marque and period British classics alike

Finished in an attractive all-blue colour scheme, MKR 520P has also benefitted from a body-off restoration and a rebuilt engine incorporating a TR6 cylinder head and uprated camshaft. Correctly registered as a historic vehicle and therefore MOT exempt, it presents an appealing opportunity to acquire a distinctive and usable classic that stands apart from the more familiar offerings of the era.
