Had the hankering for a classic an done the normal thing of trawling ebay for a few months an looking at a few dogs an when i started to give up this turned up at the top of my gf road so happy days !! been in the garage since 1998 !!! this is how it looked when i went to view it


went to pick it up as you would imagin all the brakes where shall we say stuck on but with a good tug off the van it was back rolling

My Dad had the MK1 Triumph 2000. Ican even remember the Reg No WFM 875G. It took us a s a family all over France and Spain while he owned it.

If I can get my hands on a decent car as a project it would be a Triumph 1850HL, which again my dad used to own after the Triumph 2000.
