Might as well plonk this here - a cracking video about one man's passion for Triumphs and how he built a business around them

I do and I'm sure bobins will too!!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: Open-Top motoring....
A beautiful looking car that, with a hint of MGA about the line swooping from front to rear wings.
I hope it's had a lot of strengthening underneath to compensate for the removal of the roof. A thought. Is this monococque or chassis construction?

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: Open-Top motoring....
wiki has this to say Paul, the later ZB would logically be Monocoque construction too.
Regards NeilThe Magnette ZA was announced on 15 October 1953[4] and debuted at the 1953 London Motor Show. Deliveries started in March 1954. Production continued until 1956, when 18,076 had been built.[2] It was the first monocoque car to bear the MG badge.

Re: Open-Top motoring....
Yes I have but not for a long time. It would have been at one of the Motor Shows in the NEC I'm sure. Incidentally, JRT were very particular in calling what I suppose is the same beast the TR7 V8 until they eventually realised how foolish that was I suppose.

A 1961 Porsche 356 B, the last Porsche which registers any interest from me. It's a 60's sports car and its yellow!
