Hey folks, While at the racetrack yesterday (yes, on a *TUESDAY*!!), I was introduced to a guy who has one, maybe two, '68 Spits for sale. I say "maybe two" because he's received money for one of the

I went and looked at this site (http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Triumph&page=1), but didn't find any reference to the best "Triumph in a movie" scene I've ever seen. It was a european movie pr

I'm afraid I can't recommend a place to go to, but I can recommend a place *NOT* to go to. I once sent a speedo to Palo Alto Speedometer and received incredibly poor service. Somewhere I have a MSWor

Sorry for the somewhat off-topic post, but does anyone have the April '05 issue of R&T they'd be willing to either: a) part with, or b) scan and e-mail a few pages for me? Thanks! -- George P. NASS #

Interesting story on batteries - that was one of the first things I had to tackle when I bought my Spit 20 years ago. The DPO (who also, by the way, burned out the clutch in less than 29K miles - so

With all this talk of bushings - original rubber/urethane/metal/etc. - it got me to wondering. My car has a "firm" enough ride with the 26 year old rubber bushings - not sure I'd want to go to uretha

That's an excellent lesson, and one that - sort of - prompted my question. In the Ferrari world (sorry), it's said that a driven car will last much longer than a parked car, I suspect the same is tru

Wasn't there a thread about this a couple/few years back? Didn't the Spit and 250 GT California share a common designer or something? I did a couple of quick google searches, but it seems that's not

Well, it's been a long time coming, but my Spit is finally back on the road. After several years of tinkering, and some of not much tinkering, I finally broke down and took it to a pro for some tuni
