Mabel must be an unlucky name for a Triumph, my Herald is called Mabel (I got her from Mablethorpe She’s a pain too broke down every time I’ve taken her out. Need to take her a run with new distributor

😜

So the 2000 mk 2 affectionately known as ‘the shed’ has been installed into its shed or rather a federal express container, Drove well for the 126 miles M5/M6, now some fettling to get it running sweetly, unfortunately Darren’s polishing skills won’t be needed just yet !!!

Look forward to a ‘cramping’ weekend ♥️

🤣

I’ll take one for the team 🤣

Darren she is a Triumph - or at least will be when she’s done

I’ve asked for a refund, have asked for time off work twice and twice it’s been cancelled can’t ask for time off a third time

😁

Looking forward to the drive around Derbyshire, first new year drive with other dedicated Triumph enthusiasts, hoping fir a good turnout with lots of nice cars photos to follow after the run, join us if you can 😊

Won’t be able to call her the log after colour change, she’ll look great

😂 I bags the driving seat if it has to be pushed !!

Billy Bodger has had more than one go at poor Mabel, you really don’t want to know - but would you use garden hose pipe to replace the heater hoses 🙄 this was the engine bay when I got her

🤭

😄

After rescuing Mabel from Billy Bodger and his blind mate, came time to check the state of the brakes, oh what a mess, couldn’t believe someone had actually put new front pads into totally knackered calipers, and the rear brakes were beyond belief, so she had new calipers, pads, drums, shoes, adjusters, wheel cylinders and retaining clips and pins throughout and a nice new set of stainless brake hoses and new copper brake pipes, also new master cylinder. cant believe the things some people will do !!
