The Triumph 2000 Register held its National Week in The Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire between June 23-30 at Whitemead Forest Park. The chosen charity for this event was locally based Forest Pulse. Established in 1979, Forest Pulse supports children and young people with disabilities and their families, living in The Forest of Dean.

During the week members visited many local attractions including Dean Forest Steam Railway and took part in a pleasure drive and quizzes. The week culminated in “Show Day” on Saturday, June 28 when 73 cars took to the field which included the younger members of the club, “NextGen” exhibiting their cars under their own banner.

Among the many interesting cars was the first ever Triumph 2000 off the production line in its unrestored condition which was brought to the show by Dave Hiscock on its trailer.

There were several visiting Triumphs from other clubs including a gorgeous Triumph Renown owned by Chris Blackman who drove up from Clevedon, Somerset.

The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register is a classic car club dedicated to the preservation, ownership and enjoyment of the Triumph six-cylinder saloon and estate cars produced between 1963 and 1977 - arguably one of the most important British cars of the post-war years, the Triumph 2000 and its descendents helped set the standard for the rest of the industry, such as the adoption of fully-independent suspension and fuel-injected engines.

One of the first of the modern ‘executive’ saloons, it re-established Triumph as a manufacturer of luxury as well as sports cars, and helped provide a firm foundation for the company’s expansion throughout the 1960s and into the early 1970s.

The 2026 National Week will be held in Newquay, Cornwall and full details will be announced in the near future. For more details about the club please visit www.triumph2000register.co.uk
