, i recently aquired this fine old steed in a deal with my local pub landlord , its a 1980 Sprint in good condition for its age with most of the major work having been done already leaving only an hour or so with the welder and a few days cosmetic work needed to get her back on the road and useable , i cant afford the cash to go for a show winning good as new old triumph but i can afford the time and cash to see her back on the road where she belongs , i have had her a few weeks now and done a bit of work whilst collecting a few bits needed mainly a vinly roof kit , a new headlining and a new windscreen rubber the photo`s show how she turned up at the pub and was rolled in to the garage , since then i have got her running and stopping as she did not run or have brakes when she turned up on the 1 man tow thing , the previous owner has spent a good bit of time and money doing a lot of work , it has new brakes , brake pipes , fuel pipes , wheel bearings , rear suspension and hand brake cables amongst many other bits the engine has new plugs , points , oil + filter there is a new radiator in place with plenty of antifreeze in the system so somebody has done most of it for me , this is how the landlord at the local bought it and how it came to me , its currently resting in the garage at the pub and i am doing bits here and there when time allows , my intention is to get her through an M.O.T and use her daily .
this is the first dolly i have owned though i have a love for the older car which came from the factory with a bit of character , i dont know if i dare admit here but i have had plenty of fords , escorts mainly with MK`s 1,2,3 and 4 been the cars of choice , sierras and capris also go on the list and i briefly owned an anglia 105e, work has been slower than i would have hoped on the sprint but i have had to put a driveway in at home so i have somewhere to park it
between you and me the wife thought it was for the focus so she is none too happy lol- IMG_1417.JPG (345.98 KiB) Viewed 3833 times
