Nice chariot
Love it on these how you lift the bonnet and the whole lot comes up with it,wings the lot.
Years ago my mate was well into these Triumphs and never forget he frightened the shite out of me in a 1500 spitfire, blatting around in creaky car sitting about 6" from the tarmac

Pricless ride though

It also requires a new clutch,nuts and bolts around the bell housing and removal from inside should be fun!

And most of the triumphs made. no wonder they leaked like seives. Those fibreboard transmission tunnels were crap. The replacement fiberglass ones were a good idea. Except they had zero noise absorbsion qualitys.
Fucking glad I sold my old triumph.
Pete, this needs a 2.5 on webers with the suspension sorted.

Fibre board transmission is where its at and a great fire retardant,this is good old british engineering at its best,lightned flywheel also when the clutch goes in.
