Oz... land of old british motors

I would say there are more Triumphs 2000’s (and derivatives) on the road in Oz than anywhere else in the world…

I would put this down to several factors

- Until about 15 years ago they were actually quite advanced compared to standard ozzy cars
-NO cheap imports allowed into the country
- Expensive when new and lowish depreciation + owners tended to hang on to them for more than 2-3 years (which is typical in UK) hence well maintained and higher survival rate
- No banger racers buying them up cheap and driving them into destruction (students substitute here :-) )
- Strong tendency for ex-pats to own them… and they like the fact that they don’t rust
- No salt on the roads hence terminal rust is rare
- No Roadworthy inspections in some states
- cheaper fuel
