Most Triumphant, Dudes


'Dude' is a word invented by Oscar Wilde;the car in the picture was invented by Triumph Motors in the mid sixties.
They built a complete new engine plant in '65 just to build the straight six 2 and 2.5 litre engines for the Triumph 2000 Saloon.

It had all-round independent suspension and adjustable everything.
Unfortunately Triumph became part of BLMC, and when the 'Saloon finally became obsolete(after soldiering on into the late 70's),they simply shut down production and that was that.
