If you are not in a rush, I'd suggest he join his local Triumph club.
That's how I got my TR6. - well that's how I got both of them..... Oh
jeeze, I just realized I have a Triumph problem....
If he's not hands on now, he'll need to be or find friends that like to
help. Being a member of a club will certainly help. I enjoy helping the new
members and older members keep their cars wet and on the road.
