Yes, they built enough of them to give a model name!

The White used to belong to a mate of mine. He bought it in pieces and put it back together up to the point that it was just the Hydrovac unit and some finishing off that needed doing, but then recieved an offer from the current owner who seems to have made a really nice job of finishing it off.

1976 Ford D1010 horsebox, downplated to 7500 GVW. Still in regular intermittent use. Seriously sloooooww. ![]() I had a D0910 crewcab transporter and it was a lovely well built bit if kit, but it was so slow that on some of the jobs I did I don't think I've got to where I was going even now.... |

It's a family hack- I followed it from Witney to Leominster this spring with a load of my household effects on board. 0-5mph, not bad, then about 10 seconds fishing for second, hoping it doesn't actually stop...... and so on. Peak velocity was about 48 mph down Birdlip hill. Trip took about 3.5 hours. Car managed about 65mpg though!

Badge on grille looks to be 2500 TC
The child's seat has been discarded too, as that type is now illegal to use

Badge on grille looks to be 2500 TC Always struck me as a bit strange that, it's not as though you had the option to buy a 2500SC. Triumph just trying to keep up with Rover I suppose.... |

I suppose to differentiate from 2500PI, and yes as you say the main rival was Rover. 'Rival' but same holding company, eh.
Confusing again is the 2500S. Still same pair of carburettors, but sold as a model above 2500TC. Effectively a 2500PI replacement.
While we're onto nomenclature bingo, how about:
The CKD Australian line of the MkI offered the 2000MD. This 'Managing Director' edition had wire wheels, wooden steering wheel, all were MOD and - wait for it - had three carbs.
Americans dealers bolted-on similar goodies to unsold 2000 MKI (all automatics) and created the model 2000SEm.

I suppose to differentiate from 2500PI, By the time the 2500TC came out the PI was long gone wan't it? Like you say though, lots of different designations, smacks of desperation to me, the end was nigh.... |
