Richard B Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Quote:I have been a Triumph man for over 20 years now, but my cars are the 2000/2500/2.5 and Stag range. I am currently restoring a very special 200 range estate car, which was just not going to be ready in time, hence my purchase of this Triumph. Thats where you've gone wrong with DEL33! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloydP Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I saw Jason looking longingly at its ground clearance, don't know if that was enough to get him to buy it though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbarrett Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Time to come out....Yes I have brought it. The Herald is off in darkest East Anglia being fettled, Jane's Rover is mis-behaving and heading to a garage for some expensive credit card therapy. The GT6 is great, and behaving perfectly, but is not very good for commuting to work in the winter.So I thought it was time to try the last Triumph model (it was the Acclaim or a 1989 Metro..). Bit scary as I have never brought a car without trying it first but any car that can survive a RBRR cant be too bad :))Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
