    'Where's that oil coming from?, Dad's only had it for a day'
    'Here and here and here. The whole thing is effing effed mate, much like the whole British industry, mark my words'
    'You'd better take your sandals off before going inside, Mum will go ape sh*t bonkers'

    How rude , surely nothing to do with ham fisted home mechanics prising engine casings , barrels with big screwdrivers , chisels etc..
    Seriously ,international cooperation needed now , Triumph crankshafts cast in Spain , machined at Hinckley ,then assembly at Thailand , now some engines are shipped back from Thailand for bike assembly in Hinckley, could be due to Euro tarriffs , either way crankshaft has already done 10000miles before the engine has started

  2. Keeping that serviced in the good* oul days of the DDR must have been interesting, unless its owner was allowed to travel to the West.

    I presume when you mean “serviced” that would include 2 front wings that would have dissolved in 12 months

    SMT were the local dealer ,I was looking for the logo that they used to put on ,I think instead of a window sticker , Scots of a certain vintage will remember, the logo was only about a 1&1/2” square I think done in chrome effect.9b44a6560477231f41f0709e5a91bcfc.jpg

  4. Been looking after these. Not driving, you understand - just working on them. Well, I did have to turn the Jag round.

    Not my favourite colour , the red really suits the 2 door , did Mike & Edd not work on one this colour?

    I don't think this car is worth this much, as I reckon it could need work doing to it due to it having not sold already. It has been up for half a year now and I reckon it might be worth taking a punt. Trouble is, I reckon it's a sub 5k car until I see the history and wondering if it is too big of an ask. They are a dealer and probably bored with it sitting around, so might dare with a low ball. If of course it isn't a total nightmare
    Any opinions on these cars? I know the gearboxes are quite weak, but engines are bulletproof

    Brake pipe renewal to rear at MOT time fun , back end removal , some whopper bills handed out to customers in the 90’s ,

    Kind of highlights the benefits of a UK - Norway ferry crossing.

    I feel your pain , we had planned for my pals 50th in 2009 to go to the artic circle on the bikes, however ferry stopped from Newcastle in 2008.It was getting ridiculous looking at other options as would spend half our holiday just getting to and from Norway.

  7. These didn’t come in to the country with vinyl roofs , I’m wondering if it had accident damage as itf702fd366e7ae9e917b771347b75338f.jpg
    was a trade trick to hide a multiple of sins on botched body repairs , I got rid of mine in 1984, parts weren’t the easiest to get quickly back then , be interesting now. It’s currently at £3200 …. A lot to re-live my youth. Nice bit of overspray, I don’t mind but if your wanting top dollar then put the effort in.

    Didn’t make reserve …only £6800, the £31k guide a bit optimistic considering the Colt car company’s older colts only made 11k and 15k back in March . Plenty of these rust free in Thailand /Far east / Australia going cheap , just have to ship them over.
