    very nice.

    Was brought up with a 47 MG TC, a '59 948 Herald and a '62 1600 Vitesse conv.

    I sold my Triumphs back in 2002 / 3 to fund the purchase of my new TF160 (a one spec'd off factory built car - but that's another story!) Had

    '69 Mk2 Vitesses Convertible tuined to 125/130 hp ish. There's a pic of me in it on the new edition of Practical Classic asbout to hit the shops soon.
    '66 Vitesse 1600 saloon
    '75 2500S saloon
    '81 Acclaim bought 3 days before the 2002 Round Briatain Run in aid of MS (2000 miles London - John O Groats - Lands End - London in 48 hours) We were the 3rd car to finish despite stopping on the m25 hard shoulder to help a damsel in distress out in a herald!

    Happy days. The 2.5S went to LeMans in 2002. The Convertible to the Dutch/German border in '99. And took a 13/60 Herald Estate to Brittany in 2002 - full of beer on the return trip

    That's a very early TR6. I had a 1972 one for 21 years and also a 220 BHP 1968 TR5 (mainly fibre glass) for a while - both somewhat missed, the latter was very quick.

    Very very good around the corners too - sometimes too good for the driver.

    Still being used in the Sprint/Hill Climb Championships, I believe.
