List
Just had to publicly say THANK YOU to Mr. Justin Wagner for sending me the
Triumph Service Voucher Book ( free of charge ). :-) :-) :-)
I took a chance and never expected Justin to actually even consider sending
it to me .( I really thought Justin made a joke when he replied that the
book was on its way . ) It's very easy to promise something to someone when
he's far away . It's not always so easy to actually deliver . Justin
delivered and in my books he really is a great man .
Now I'm off to my local Triumph Service Centre to redeem my first voucher on
a complete Spitfire service :-) . And since this seems to be my lucky week
I'll check my PO Box tomorrow morning for my complete Mk1 Spitfire overdrive
conversion kit that someone will send . :-)
Once again : Thank you Justin .
Kind regards
Chris de Wet
PO Box 472 , Ifafi , 0260 , South Africa .
One '56 TR3 with o/d , two Heralds and four early Spitfires without o/d .

Dear Justin
The service voucher book arrived ! :-) :-) :-) :-)
Did you hear me shout with joy ? THANK YOU VERY MUCH . The book is great ,
life is great and you are a great guy ! You are being recommended to every
Triumph owner I encounter in South Africa and as soon as it becomes
necessary I will order my gaskets from you .
Please let me know if you need any early Spitfire parts . I don't have many
parts , but if I can help you with something I will . If you ever visit
South Africa , you and your family are most welcome to stay with us on the
farm ( near Pretoria ) .
Once again , thank you very much Triumph friend .
Best wishes

I think a couple weeks ago...
It's a freebie...
Get some friends together one day and buy a couple gaskets for their TR's or
something... but no hurry... and not required... : )
Hope you can make use of it...

P.S. Did you really think I could send it to anyone else after your e-mail?
I
even forwarded it to another guy who asked for it...someone I have gotten to
know in the group... in fact... a leader in the Triumph clubs of the USA...
and
asked him... and he agreed... that while he wanted it... it was meant to go
to
you.
