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
heres a few pick of it gettin winched up on truck




the car is a non runner under further inspection one float on the carbs was jammed open an the float on the other carb jammed closed after a quick tinker free'ed off then no spark :'(
replaced points condesor plug leads an cap and now the feckin coil give up lol got a new one an hope to have it on by the weekend an bit of look it might crack up pic of the engine

 

nice car as a good mate of mine has one with a rover v8 fitted and kept the overdrive box too

 

looks a clean engine that G, nice change to the norm, bet the straight six will sound sweet when fired up (assuming its a six)

 

yeh its a 6 pot cant wait to hear !

 

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.

 

I had a 2.5PI estate, wish i still had it as there are very few left althoigh a nightmare to set up the injection system.
