Hi all, thought I’d rejoin the TSSC as the “hankering” to own another Triumph is pretty strong, and maybe, just maybe reading about them will solve my problem. 😜
A few years ago, I swore off classics and switched to modern classics, but the medicine is not working as well these days. The garage is currently full of a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire (Mercedes SLK in drag) which has a silky smooth 3.2 litre v6, power everything, air conditioning, smooth auto and develops 215bhp. I need to sell that before I can start my search in earnest.
I’ve owned a few Spitfires in the past (not sure I’d fit in one now) and a Stag. I’m thinking a Herald or Vitesse convertible would be an ideal new garage toy.
Don’t expect sage workshop advice, as I’m mechanically inept, but can service and hit a car with a hammer as required with relative ease. I make a fine cup of tea I’ve been told.
My daily diesel is a German convertible (which is nice) and the current pain in the neck is Vauxhall Cascada which needs a dammed good talking too or a flame thrower I’m not sure which yet.
Catch you on line or in a field somewhere.

Reliability and rust. But I was buying bottom end classics only one owner from serious restoration or scrapping. I’d be hoping a higher starting budget would improve the rust, and reliability is really a consequence of maintenance. (Ish)
