Ok, I admit it, as a past owner of a TR8 (and hopefully someday a future owner as well), I’m partial to the last Triumph TR.  The Harris Mann-penned design has worn well through the years, and this convertible… more»

A-peeling Coupe: 1969 Triumph GT6+

When the Triumph Spitfire debuted in 1962, the fact that it had the small 1147cc Herald-based engine didn’t matter to a market hungry for an Italian-styled pretty little sports car. Unlike its main competitors (the Austin-Healey Sprite/MG Midget tandem)… more»

Driver Quality: 1962 Triumph TR3

Yellow is my least favorite color, so normally I would pass on any car sporting this obnoxious hue. I think I could live with it on this old Triumph though. The swooping lines of the TR3 are already so… more»

Beater TR3 Sighting

Back in July, I had planned on attending one of the biggest car shows held in Idaho. It was on a Saturday, so after mowing the lawn and doing a few things around the house, I headed down to… more»

Dust Does Not Make It Real: 1976 Triumph TR6

People like to see the tomb. But once the dusty sarcophagus has been removed, the whole scene loses some of the adventure. The same goes with barn finds. We love to see photos of them as found, but when… more»

1969 Triumph TR6 Back Home

We all have that car that we absolutely regret selling. It never fails that once it is gone you wish you had it back, but sometimes life makes it necessary. We always tell ourselves we can always buy another… more»
