  1. Well the Triumph Acclaim did become a Rover 200
  2. I had a dog poo brown Dolly about 15 years ago that had Ziebart and it was solid. Wish my current TR7 had 🙄😢
  3. Yes MOT needed, madness the exempt rule
  4. Plenty of options if you search dog harness for car. We have a harness with a short lead that gets put through seat belt
  5. From email Thought I would share if anyone interested Triumph Classic Sports Car Show Sunday 18 June Enjoy a display of classic Triumph TR’s at the museum this Father’s Day with the local Stoke Group of the TR Register. Set within the historic backdrop of our bottle ovens this show will feature beautiful examples of models from the 1950s, 60s and 70s of these iconic cars. Our café will also be offering a special Gentleman’s Lunch for all the dad’s out there. Enjoy a classic Ploughman’s with cheese, ham, pork pie and pickles for £8.50 which includes a bottle of Spitfire Ale. 11am – 3pm. Car show free with normal museum admission.
  6. The Standard Triumph working mans club is still there and open.
  7. Spotted 4 TR6's followed by a TR2 and TR7DHC heading for Princethorpe in convoy. Very nice to see, shame I was going in opposite direction in the modern. Anyone on here?
  8. Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255667654108?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0qeoTjaSTs-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=RBdeVQazRdG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I think
  9. But you never know with Fords. As a Ford apprentice in the 80's I worked from drawings with both imperial and metric measurements on 🤷
  10. And they should have had the rover V8 already tried and tested 🙄
  11. 1990, 33years ago. Surely they can be classed as classics now. I always thought 20 years plus started to be classics. 🤷
  12. "Eventually got the AA to come out and fixed it in 20 mins without even getting his tools out. when the battery died it had reset the ecu which then was no longer communicating with the engine. He had to use software on his computer to reconfigure it and it then started fine. Guess that's progress 🙄" Just another tool to add to the toolkit for modern cars
  13. Usually lh and rh of a car is from sitting in it
  14. Strange he doesn't want to get it fixed after the 5 years of enjoyment
  15. I use Hobbyweld, two suppliers near me so if ones out if stock the other usually has a bottle. There smallest argon 5 was £48 when I last exchanged it last month. Can't remember what the deposit was.
  16. Available to order according to site,unless you're in a hurry

  18. Yep, great car. Trouble was it was still the same car in 1980 when BMW and Saab had carried on developing. BL all over sadly
  19. Haynes definitions Comes out easy = stuck fast need hot axe Hard to remove = falls on top of you
