Class Acts, Part 1: The Triumph 2000 and 2.5 PI Mk 1

In this article, we look at the origins of the 2000 Mk 1, its links to its Rover P6 arch-rival, and the first 2.5 PI.

The last chequered flag for Sir Jack Brabham
May 22nd 2014. Jack Brabham, the Australian legend, died last May 19th aged 88 years. He won three world championships between the ’50s and ’60s. Another part of motoring history that passes away. He was nicknamed “Black Jack” and was considered a tough guy due to his toughness on the track, but he was in reality extremely fair and with a kind and polite habit, a professional that knew perfectly his job. We like to homage him with some rare, unpublished photographs.

A tour in Tuscany
Since a own a classic car, each time I drive my "modern" car on a beautiful road I think how it should be good to be there with my Spitfire. It happened a couple of years ago too, in Tuscany, and then I asked to myself if it would have been possible to make a trip on my Spit from Veneto, where I live. If you're reading these lines, you already know the answer.
