The Triumphs were built in the same Nelson plant that also built Jaguar XJ6s and later, Honda Accords and Civics. In the early 1970s the Triumph was one of the top three selling models here, along with the Holden HQ and the Cortina.

Never used on 2000, nor on 2500TC or 2500S, so for me they are specific. But they're only cheap trim covers, and easy enough for NZ to use them on as many models as it wants.
