I seen that name... And the first thing I thought of was a ratty TR2... One of my college friends had a ratty looking, blue TR2. I always asked him why he drives such a thing, he had money. He would never say anything, but just smile. One day, I guess he got tired of me asking, and tossed me the keys. OMG! That car was fun! Slow, especially compared to my turbo Thunderbird.
Needless to say, I quickly bought the first Triumph I saw, a TR7. Restored that and learned about Triumphs. My favorites, though were the small chassis Triumphs. I had a ton of Spitfires, a couple of GT6's, and even restored a 62 Vitesse Sports 6. Outside of the Vitesse, my favorite was a 77 Spitfire 1500, 11:1 compression, race cam and dual weber dcoe carbs (I was young and dumb, way over-carb'd, but it sure looked and sounded great!).
