I'm a Coventry kid. This takes me back and fills me with pride. It is so said what happened to our car industry. It is such a pity what happened to British Leyland.

I still love my 1974 Triumph TR6 after more than 30 years of faithful service. What a great car.

My dad was a senior trim buyer at Triumph in the 70s, and I worked across the road at Covrad, happy days

I know the stag had some issues but it's a fantastic drivers car and looks excellent .

Oddly enough even though B.L. was going downhill in the '70's; the quality of the Triumph 2000/2.5/2500 range never deteriorated......

I had an Australian delivery 2500S manual o/d.... It was a brilliant car... Did over 300,000km in it and never had the head off... Slid off the road in it once in a storm.. Flash flood filled a normally dry creek bed. Luckily the air cleaner stayed above water and none got into the engine. Had it hauled out with a crane on the back of a truck, pulled out the rubber bungs in the floor pan to let water drain out and drive it home. Took me ages to clean it. The biggest problem I had with it was when I fitted an aftermarket air con kit... The alternator couldn't take the extra load.. Had to replace it with a higher rated alternator.

New favorite phrase: British Leyland, Quality Control with a Vengeance.

Triumph made some very good looking cars.

Thanks for the video, have owned 7 Triumphs from MK 1 2000, Stag, TR5 and currently TR6. Never had problems with any of them even the Stag. I get sick of "experts" bagging British cars. I get the same old boring lecture wherever I go. How unreliable they are and how they all leak oil. The fact that so many have survived says it all.

My dad the Triumph 1500 FWD with the engine mounted longitude but driving the front wheels.Was always his favourite car I remember how comtifull those big padded seats were!

I had 3 Dolomite Sprints, all great fun. Very very fast.

thanks for this quality vid....these rides were way ahead of their time... they had the rack and pinion, and c.v. joints when we (u.s.) were still building clunky old a- arm and spring front ends

The 2 litre and the 25 pi straight six engine is absolutely superb

What a cracking vid - thanks for sharing it with us....

So thats why overheating problems weren't detected in the Stag, the road tests were carried out in sub zero temperatures

Thanks for sharing. Glad we could clear up the neighborhood mystery of the statue. cheers, Michael

Thanks for posting this superb video. I owned a Dolomite Sprint for a while and great fun. OK, not quick or comfortable by todays expectations but beautiful styling and so characteristic of Triumph of the time.

I had a 1968 1300 FWD Saloon. Awesome car 👍

My friend had a Triumph Herald with its hilarious turning circle. You could practically turn it round in its own space. Fun little car that. The front bumper trim had deteriorated over the years and had turned into chalk, lumps would fall off it.

Fantastic !!!!! thank you
