- Earl, Put it into the XJS first! Put it in the XK120, there's more of them around that Triumph 1800 roadsters. Seriously try a MK II Sprite, early sixties, light, not a whole lot of value and not rar

- I think the Triumph is too interesting and rare a car to be the subject of such a swap. You'd spend a lot of money making it work, and probably halve the value of the car in the process. Please don't

- Earl, Don't do it!! It is estimated that there are only about 200 of the 1800 Roadsters left in the world. Modifying a potentially restorable one would be a tradgedy. If you are not serious about pr
