my triumph

#1 Post by iggy »

hi every one having owned a few triumph vitesses about 25 years back i decided id like something a bit bigger so after looking for a few months this saturday ive bought a 1972 triumph 2000 mot till april next year, i drove the 90 or so miles back from wellingborough near northampton to wickford near basildon essex where i live no problem apart from what i expect is a very noisy diff and gearbox plus no heat from the heater matrix, the engine runs really well its been converted to a 2500 manual overdrive box at some stage all the spark plugs were the right colour when i removed them after getting home and the fuel consumption was very good as well, the registration no is NMX 114L any body on the forum recognize the car? its brooklands green originally dark brown, i hope all you triumph experts can help me with the work i will be doing on my car is there any triumph parts suppliers/garages or mechanics in essex thanks :D
