mikeyb Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Noticed the other day that the newly aquired facelift PI has a chassis no MN####DLO - I've never come accross an MN before - would have expected an MG. It doesn't come up in the Club list on the Tech Info either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 According to an old Six Appeal I have handy - MN1 built May '74 up to MN2153 the last one built July 1975. Your car must be pretty rare.I had a 1975 2000 with an ML prefix. Same kind of era. 2000 facelift but pre TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Has anyone ever seen a (facelift) 2500 PI estate? Would this be the rarest model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy thompson Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well apparently they (a few) have existed.. whether any still exist based on their ability to rot like anchors only matched by 2500S Estates is yet to be determined.Definitely rarer than a Mk1 Pi estate though... that said easy to replicate... just fit late Pi engine to an S estate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 To sidetrack a wee bit...Today I saw a mint 2500 TC from this 74/75 model year that we're taking about, 17k on the clock. One of the first TCs with the HS4 carbs.It had a round badge on the rear pillar saying "TC". Is that correct - I thought these said "2500" there.

andy thompson Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I think your right but 30 years is long enough to swap any badge... aussie 2500 TC had another badge again there.. they came out as pre-facelift 2500TC in 1973... twin 150 Strombergs too .... heaps around... don't rust and all owned by the elderly gents and ladies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Keep up the rarity bit, we need to make him feel ever so guilty about just thinking about breaking it!!It needs a bit of work apparently, but not an insurmountable amount.Trouble is he keeps having nasty thoughts about the engine going straight into his (not as rare as this car) Mk1 PI.:-)Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you all need to do is confiscate it from him and send it up to me. I'll look after it ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire2500 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I reckon Mike had an unfair advantage seeing as he had about a 400 mile head start ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogothdon Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 There are still a couple of pi estates at Triumphland in Doncaster for restoration, neither facelift, a 70 and a 73 if memory serves me right. Need saving if someone feels the need for a pi estate......... ;DDonald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A project facelift PI that I could work on over a couple of years is probably what I'm after in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi Bill,The site has moved to http://www.triumph2000register.co.uk/I think you're right, a car like that is worth strong money. Quite far to go for you too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd been paying attention I'd have been able to figure that out for myself from the e-mail that was sent out when the forum moved Nice looking car though. Asking price isn't as much as I expected TBH but it is a hell of a long way away :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
