The Master plan was to get the Triumph finished in time for our "driving holiday" round England and Ireland. Unfortunately to go from this
and this
to this
in 2 months proved a bit to ambitious so instead it was this,
This picture was taken in the Southern Irish "Gourmet" town of Kinsale. We covered a total of 2500Km in the old Opel and it didn't miss a beat (apart from installing a new coil which packed up after 20 minutes, so the old one went back in (ain't broke don't fix routine)).
So as you can see from the above photo's a little over 1 month behind schedule we are back behind the wheel of my 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 which I acquired in 1995 and has been in bits since late 1998. A very satisfying achievement. It went for it's technical registration control today, it needs a new Windscreen (ordered as we broke the old one putting it in), the brake pipes secured better and the chassis number stamping in the chassis (I think I changed the bit of chassis that should have had the number on it....). More project details in due course on more-power.
