I would suggest that he enjoy the hunt for a better "starter car" for
a while. He will be happier in the long run.

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.

Hello Chris.

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

The second step is acquiring more Triumphs . . .
