Hi, Dale. No rules broken that I know of!
<< 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. >>
Hmmm, kind of an "apples and oranges" comparison, or like trying to determine
which of your children you like best. :-) Two VERY different cars with some
obvious shared heritage (and a few parts). Which one would YOU rather have at
the moment? Spitfires are less expensive, but that's about the most
"quantifiable" criterion I can point to. ;-) Parts availability is actually
quite good for most any postwar Triumph, even the "family" cars.
<< 2. If a TR6, what year(s)? Any model year with
significant problems/advantages? >>
I'll leave that to the TR6 folks!
<< 3. If Spitfire, MkIV or 1500? >>
Yes...or Spitfire 4, Spitfire 4 Mk2, or Spitfire Mk3! :-)
<< 4. Is there a TR6 or Spitfire or Triumph FAQ? >>
There are files for this list and for a Spitfires list (among others) at
ListQuest.com (?), and there is much information at, for example, <www.vtr.org>
and links from that site.
<< 5. Does anyone know of a Triumph organization
in Austin? >>
I think probably the Texas Triumph Register (chapter of VTR) is closest to you?
They are linked to from "Chapters" at <www.vtr.org>.
