Hello, All,
I have been lurking for awhile and I wanted to introduce myself. However, I
have not seen anyone else intro themselves so I do not know if I breaking
any rules. If so, please accept my apologies in advance. My name is Dale
Neidhammer and I live in Austin, Texas. I was planning on getting a new
Ford Focus this summer until I talked with a friend who collects older
Mercedes and Volkswagens (you can guess where that conversation led!) This
has resulted in the awakening of the Triumph virus in my system. Years ago
(high school) I worked across the street from the Triumph dealer in my town
in Connecticut and got a chance to use a TR6 for a week one summer and then
a Spitfire for almost a month. Fell in love with both cars. So, here I am
looking into the process of tracking down either a TR6 or a Spitfire.
I have a couple of questions I would like to put forth:
1. Spitfire or TR6? I realize this is probably
more of a "religious" question. My frame of
reference is wrt to parts availability.
2. If a TR6, what year(s)? Any model year with
significant problems/advantages?
3. If Spitfire, MkIV or 1500?
4. Is there a TR6 or Spitfire or Triumph FAQ?
5. Does anyone know of a Triumph organization
in Austin?
Thanks in advance for all the help. As I learn more and begin to actively
look for a car, I'll be posting more questions.
Regards,
Dale Neidhammer DoD#: 1992vfr1
Austin, TX
