I would be happy to scan some of the material if that's useful. I host a lot of manuals on my website. http://vitessesteve.co.uk/
I already have many parts lists and repair manuals. What else have you got?
Photos would help identify what is in the collection.

I was recently talking to a chap who is based in Johannesburg South Africa. TSSC of South Africa are planning an event to mark the centenary of the first Triumph car. I have not read of any celebration being planned for next year. I wonder if the Club are working on anything?

Get on eBay and buy a used good brand adjustable. Probably similar price to a modern item but you just know the thing will be precise fit with little or no slop in the jaws.
Or use it as an excuse for a rummage at an autojumble.

Brilliant Steve and Thanks Pete.
If that is the latest it looks like I am up to date then! Page 4 says second edition but talks about inserting the third edition , so I guess that is it
I am just missing the emissions section at the end but that not required.
Thank you all
Do you mean the Spitfire MK3 emission control supplement? I am sure I have that somewhere.

You have to pay for these but one of them may be of some use.
Another online parts manual here:
Annoyingly some sites hotlink to my content and even have the cheek to charge for it. My content is free.

Here is a link to a late edition of the Triumph Herald 1200, 1250, Vitesse and Spitfire Workshop Manual that does include the Herald 13/60. https://app.box.com/s/9ite5u16tvc4u83b7fnndwyxtjqcqpjg
An earlier edition is linked to from my website page: http://vitessesteve.co.uk/Servicemanuals. That could do with replacing as it a scan with pages out of order and missing later amendments.

The Herald 13/60 is included in the later editions of the Triumph Herald 1200, 1250, Vitesse and Spitfire Workshop Manual. As far as I know the 13/60 was covered by extra material issued by way of amendments. The original document being in a paper multi page loose leaf ring binder format. I have never seen a separate factory Workshop Manual for the Herald 13/60.
I will check which edition I have online.

Many Triumph car dealers used to give away branded tax disc holders.
I have included images of several tax discs holders in the blog posts about Triumph Car dealers I have written: https://vitessesteve.blogspot.com/search?q=tax+disc
Some have been reproduced and come up for sale via eBay.
If you know the garage who originally sold your car you maybe able to source a period current tax disc holder.

It's all moving towards getting you to use Microsoft Edge, which on principle I'm trying to put off as long as possible - they keep bombarding me with suggestions to use it on the Mac.
I've just been made to use Microsoft Bing, which instead of finding me the Triumph Engine data I was looking for, instead listed a lot of sales and ads for completely unrelated items based on 'things you may like' and 'based on your recent searches'. That's not security, it's commerce, and monopoly...

Invision / IP Board appear to be dropping support for older browsers.
Unfortunately, NOT upgrading the Forum software when software/security patches are available is really not good practice, as it leaves the Forum vulnerable to hackers and other malevolent persons.
Some of you may have also noticed that since the last software upgrade the forum also doesn't support MS Internet Explorer properly anymore.
This is not something I can fix as its deeply embedded in the main operating system code.
I understand not even Microsoft recommend Internet Explorer any more. Surely people who insist on using Microsoft browser can use Microsoft Edge instead. Out of date browser are potentially insure and leave users vulnerable in the same way as using other out of date software.

You might like to take a look at this old Triumph training. Originally a film strip that was scanned by Adrian Hebron to PDF. Converted to video format by me.
The booklet about the subject is available from my website: http://vitessesteve.co.uk/ServiceTrainingNotes.

As the video shows it was the Triumph Spitfire that ran at LeMans. It featured changes from the normal road car including a special reshaped body.

Quoting from their website Robush became a UK distributor for Trelleborg™, Novibra™ and Metalastik™ in 2005.
I seem to remember Trelleborg as a rotoflex source in the past. Think they are Swedish.

If you bought the wheels from a trader they should be able supply appropriate nuts.
Alloy wheels often fasten using tapered washers or nuts rather than flat face nuts.
A photo of the wheels showing the holes might help somebody identify the nuts needed.

S&M TRIUMPH RESTORATION LIMITED went to members voluntary liquidation 14/11/2018 according to companies house. This is old news see https://www.tr-register.co.uk/article/2018/11/0166/SM-Triumph-Restoration-Ltd-enters-liquidation
The auction is said to be on behalf of an Administrator acting on holdings of S & M Ltd. I can not find either "Holdings of S & M Ltd" or "S & M Ltd" listed.
So the business would appear to have failed again but not not sure what it name it was actually registered under....
S&M T6 TRIUMPH SPITFIRE LE MANS LTD is currently listed as an active company. However the T6 moulds are in the auction item 20.

Last year somebody was offering to bring a batch of these from Australia to the UK. Did anyone get hold of one?
Are they still available?
