As per the Triumph, not my cup of tea, but I love seeing cars like this still on the road. Good luck with the old girl, cars like this can make even mundane trips fun, and the occasional mechanical let-down is part of classic ownership. I'm sure you'll have fun and take some pride in getting her running properly - enjoy.

Go back and have a look at what I said at #15. Your the tosser and/or a pom I bet. Looking at what you buy and sell ( rovers ) I can see your delusional.

I seem to remember fitting new mufflers often, then trying to get all the brackets lined up so the exhaust missed the chassis holes, and the gearbox mounting that seemed to fail often. Fixed it by sliding a bit of tire sliced up and poked under the mounting.Some people liked them other hated them all to what you like.

JR Law the first job I did when I worked in an exhaust shop was a full S/S system on a t 2.5 would have been a shit of a job but we had in stock the X member mounts complete with the bolts rubber washers made life easy took about 30 minutes, the worse was doing just the center muffler through the chassis hole and the customer didnt want to spend any money

ITS DONE, the clutch went in with the aid of a clutch alignment tool, the box slid right on, and all the bolts went back to were they came from, the only pro blem i have is that the gearbox is still fairly noisey. but atleased it doesnt slip anymore :)

Ging, I think you got a real steal there !
Manual + o/d, body looks fairly good, go out and have lots of conspicuous fun in it.
Best of luck with your new toy. I am a wee bit jealous.

I took one for a test drive one time. I put my foot flat to the floor to test acceleration and the pedal got caught in the carpet! I was doing 100mph on Blockhouse Bay Road by the time I freed it. Very smooth at that speed!
