(21,030 posts)I've had Triumphs off and on my whole life, starting with my junk TR3 when I was 19. The whole time all I wanted was a TR6. Just before I retired I sold my Spitfire and found this '71, the car I should have driven to prom. That was in 1999. It's my life now and I've overhauled it a couple times now. I completely rebuilt the engine, did the interior, and had it repainted in the original Signal Red. Spax shocks all around, and a reinforced diff. It has one inch lowering springs, and a pair of dual throat Webers.
I found a hardtop for it a few years ago and put that on in late fall until late spring. I drive it every day in the summer because I don't know how long I'll be able.

My Soul Mate and DUer Samplegirl got a TR4 a couple years after I found mine. She bought it sight unseen from San Diego and had it shipped to Ohio when she got jealous of my car. It's a black plate California car. Hers is nicer than mine, but she does let me work on it. haha
