My wife wanted it; was the same car (year and color) I spent my youth in. CA car, so no rust thankfully. Forgive the haircut :smile: ...

Nothing wrong with that. I was looking for a Spitfire for awhile. I'd still like one...someday, I guess /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Don't feel bad, I've got my eye on a white TR7/8 coupe that's sitting forlornly in the back row of a garage/used car lot with no motor.

Nothing wrong with a Triumph, I bought my wife a Spitfire 1500 just after we got married! It was a lot of fun and reliable, we toured Britain and parts of Europe without any breakdowns.

Its not that bad guys. I've had 3 rumphs. A TR 7 convertible with an auto transmission and a couple of TR 6's. My last TR 6 had been fitted with a TR 8 engine and a 5spd. Now that was a ride!

Scott, you could have said "I just bought a Civic."
Now, that would have <u>truly</u> angered the LBC gods. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

My first on-the-road LBC was a 77 MGB. but I traded it for a TR4A. Now I'm back off the road, with the TR2 project. My brother has a TR6 and my dad has an MGB. We don't play brand favorites. If it's British, it's cool. I'd gladly buy an MGA or better yet a "T" series. (budget projects.. Anyone????) I'm only a rumphie cause I got a thing for the TR2-3s. And I like the torque in the TR 4 cyl. But I love a fine running MG. they just purr.
Enjoy the Spit. Feel no remorse. there is no "going to the dark side" other than good natured ribbing (at least in here)

I've got MG's, Little Healeys, and Triumphs currently, and no one has thumped me upside the head yet.
Probably should have, though, now that I think of it.

I've had my rumph's...and more MG's....Anything british is good with me. I love my TR6, nothing like the sound of that inline 6! I just wish I could find a TR6 as nice as my MG's.

I came within an eyelash of doing it as well. Had a verbal agreement with a guy for his TR4, but he backed out after a bout of bad health...

Had to get an Elan S2 instead to console myself...

I used to be a big MG fan, and thought that I would always own one. That was until I went for a ride in a TR8. After 10 years without a MG, and 8 or 10 TR8's later I have another MGB, all be it a very highly modified one. I guess I still am a big MG fan - just not slow ones. Good luck with the new car. I think you'll like how easy the Spit is to work on.

What a nice car. I had a '73 that color (and shape /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif ) that I really, really enjoyed... after my '64 MGB- the MG was nice and a good introduction to LBCs; and for a while I had them both.

Its a real shame I can't have one or two of, well, practically everything....

I can't criticize anyone who ventures beyond the MG marquee - because as many know I bought a Porsche last year. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

But while I love my 78B I've always thought that the Spits where pretty cool but I like the GTs a little bit better. Best rumfy IMHO is the TR6.
