Maybe you should...!!!
I'd love to know what those 'things' on the parcel shelf are for...! I wonder if they are for some kind of 1970's type luggage net or such like...?!

I think the brackets on the rear shelf are probably some sort of gun rack !
Many years ago there was a similar brown one for sale at a show I quite like the look of. Very low millage and pretty much as new.
That was about 1992 though so it would probably be in a bit of a state now.

This is one really nice looking motor I'm with the other guys keep the brown :-D the loops on the parcel shelf are 20mm conduit saddles so know doubt put there to hold something down I'd love to think it was to hold guns like some sort of gangster motor lol

ok small update i investigated the clutch problem and found that the slave cyl was seized and the plastic pipe was split so i cut of the split bit and pushed it back on removed the slave cyl and free`d it off refitted it and was stuck without someone to help me bleed it hey ho will do it some time anyway this was the pile of wheels and trim i picked up the other day  didnt pay a lot for them but they are reasonably tidy need a clean and some paint but thats no big problem tried one on for size  looks much better on the alloys than the steels sorry about the poor quality pics it was late and a bit dark i am not going to rush this but if i can get a test on it for the gathering it will be coming (i will get the wife to bring the fiesta down on the sunday when her and the kids come down) |

well not much to report clutch master cyl is leaking badly and with the gathering aproaching i have no cash (the fiesta ate it all) but i did have a go at cleaning up and painting one of the alloys i bought just 4 more to go  i don't expect anything else will get done till after the gathering now as with 11 days to go i still have half the interior to retrim in the fiesta |

ok no updates in a year where does the time go well she has been on the road a little over a week and so far has managed 230 miles without falling apart,
admittedly the carb is blocked and sticking and it ticks over about 2500 rpm but I'm getting to that drives nice tho and unless it explodes will be at the gathering hopefully with the go cart on tow fingers crossed

Pictures, we want picture...!!!
I'm pleased this car is still doing its thing. My Toledo seems to go on and on and these little Triumphs just have so much character.
Keep on keeping on sir...
