hello all,
new member here from Maryland.
i got a 75 triumph spitfire about a month ago.
my first LBC.
most of my past cars have been classic american iron.

i bought the car running but not driveable...no power...it would idle only.

some ignition parts and a good carb cleaning and rebuild and its driving now... still sorting out some issues.

i have the weber DGAV carb and Monza exahust.

thanks to everyone in advance for all the answers to the many questions i am sure to be asking.
 
Great to have you aboard.....
much success with your project.
Post a pic or 2... would like to see it.
 
Hello, and welcome to the Forum from another Marylander! :savewave:
 
well, here it is the day i brought it home.
paid $1000 for it. it has its issues but it is solid and the interior is in great shape.
it is the perfect rolling project, which is exactly what i was looking for.

Welcome,

It sounds like you have the most important thing sorted out already.
