Consider registering the car with ANTIQUE plates. Your 72 is
25 years old, so it qualifies. The fee is a ONE TIME registration
and there is NO annual inspection at all. Use of the car with
antique tags would eliminate all but an occasion drive to work
on weekdays, but using it at other times for occasional
use is not a problem. We drive our TR-3 on summer evenings, weekends
etc without problem. The insurance is also cheaper too.
You also asked about a NJ Triumph club:
New Jersey Triumph Association
The New Jersey Triumph Association (founded 1979) is
a club of over 150 Triumph owners and enthusiasts.
