>I think -- presuming you live in a larger metro area -- the best bet is
your
local newspaper classifieds. However, there are some other viable forums.
For example, there are a large number of Triumphs that cycle through the
online classifieds at http://www.vtr.org. There are probably some cars
near
you. Also, if there are some LBC shops near you, check out their in-store
bulletin boards. Hemmings is also a good source.

I think that the local club angle is the least utilized by new Triumph
shoppers. If you are considering purchasing a Triumph you should join the
local club now. It will help you learn what to look for, figure out what
kind of car and what options you really like and often times club members
who decide to sell cars will start with local club and many of the better
deals never make the newpapers. I bought two cars from club members and I
think I made out in both cases.
So if there is a local club join today! Meet the folks and learn as much
as you can before you buy.
