I once rented above a backyard Triumph & Vanguard spares/wrecker operation and confess that experience kinda put me off the brand. Not so much the cars but their (then) penny pinching owners. You couldn't believe how scabby they were. With my own eyes I witnessed a Triumph 2000 'enthusiast' come in and purchase a USED oil filter, for $4

As a result of a financial emergency in the 1970s I traded (way) down into a be-finned Major Elite with the unique 'aussie bigblock' 1620cc. Well it took me all of three days ownership to blow the Morrie's notoriously fragile diff to smithereens. So it was a brief but intense interlude at best

Nice pics Helen M and a warm welcome to UCP. Please feel free to use the pic-attachment system for the benefit of dial-up members
