My lady has just informed me that she would consider a complementary
Triumph TR3
to our classic '58 Cessna 182 a good idea. She's willing to cash in
her
old
Chevy on the Triumph...oil leaks and all...for a TR-3 of that era.

Anybody got a lead on one of those old rascals?


Just like old airplanes, start with the type club. Here's the web
site for one close by you, the Sacramento Valley MG Car Club:

While Jim is looking for a Triumph, I think your suggestion makes a lot
of sense. 8^)

There is a book you need: "How to repair your foreign car" by Dick
O'Kane -- it was written in the 1960's and was mostly but not
exclusively about British vehicles.


It had chapter titles such as:

Why, when Britannia rules the waves, can't they make a car
that runs in the rain?

Carburettor is a French word meaning "Leave it alone...."


There were also chapters on what your tool kit should have. The
typical British car's contents were described and derided "The
mallet for knock-off spinners will do you no good when you need a
lug wrench...."

It suggested you take a sunny day and figure out how to jack up the
car & change a tyre then, not not wait for a dark, cold rainstorm.
[Hint: my BiL's Morgan is jacked up from INSIDE the car..]

There was an entire chapter on likely the worst-designed piece of
hardware since the Tacoma Narrows Bridge -- yes, the SU electric
fuel pump.

And every single word is true. Buy it before you get the car.

I was listening to click and clack one day and a woman called in and her
recently licensed son had been offered two used cars as gifts from relatives.
One was an old RangeRover and the other was a non-descript type.

Their suggestion as that owning the Ranger would teach him a valuable
lesson: "Never buy a British car."
