Born in Austria, living in South Africa since 1996. Throughout my younger (student) years I was a Fiat man, but always admired British roadsters.
Bought my first Triumph, a 1965 TR4A in 2002 and did a running restoration over the years. Added a 1973 TR6 PI in 2009 and sold the TR4A a year later after winning a number of Concourse medals with it at 4 Nationals of the Triumph Sports Cr club of South Africa. Over the years I owned and restored a 1955 TR2 - built up from a wreck as a tribute car (The Jabbeke Special) to the 1953 TR2 record car, then a 1957 MG Magnette and a 1972 MGB GT. Followed by a 1961 Mini Stationwagon and a 1971 GT6. Currently I own a 1958 Austin Healey Sprite Mk1 and for over two years I'm restoring a 1971 TR6 PI. As one can see from the list I gathered a bit of experience in restorations, a hobby that keeps me sane in retirement. Daily drivers are a 2012 Volvo V50 D4 and for my wife a 2002 BMW Z3 3.0i.
I look forward to hear from some of you.
