johne Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 HI, I'm John from Tauranga in New Zealand, I've been a menber of the club for a few years, but this is my first venture on to the forum. I've currently got a Stag and some boxes of bits that are supposed to be a MkIV Spitfire. The Stag came to NZ with us when we moved from the UK 7 or so years ago and I bought the Spitfire a few weeks ago from a guy who'd had it for 15 years in its current dismantled state. I think it was the owner before him who took it apart and started putting it back together. Of course there's always something you miss when you're looking at a car to buy (well I do) and so far I've found a chassis repair which I'll start a seperate thread about once I've written this. I've owned a variety of Triumphs over the years, starting with an eight year old 13/60 saloon, bought on a snowy day in Bath for 330 pounds, just as a reasonably priced second hand car but it somehow got me into the weird and wonderful world of Triumph ownership and the TSSC! Cheers, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonMember Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 That's rather how mine looked a few (ok, several) years ago. Looking forward to seeing your progress, hopefully a little faster than mine was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
