From Practical Classics:-
The discovery of this ex Paddy Hopkirk works Triumph 2.5 PI rally car XJB302H !
'At last I can release some pictures of the works Triumph of Paddy Hopkirk, which we have finally got to a safe place.
It is in amazing condition, having been hidden away since 1977. It even has the maps inside it from a Scottish event!’

WOW! What a find. It looks as though it will restore without too much difficulty. I do remember competing against that car. Always loved those 2000/2500 cars in rally trim. 

The Mk.1 with triple Webes was great as well and there are one or two of them still around.
