Hello, my name is Rick and I live in Tennessee. Since the mid 90’s I have owned a variety of Mercedes Benz, but my years were focused on British Leyland automobiles.
I appreciate for the nice reception to the club. I joined the group as I finally have made some time to work on the 1968 Triumph TR250 I purchased in February. The plan is to rebuild the front & rear suspensions with a lot of detailing on the individual components. I have strayed from the brand as I had a ‘58 TR3 in high school, a overly restored GT6 in college and a Jasmine yellow ‘69 TR6 just before I got married and that doesn’t count the ‘69 MGB in between. I have since focused on Mercedes Benz (‘69 300 SEL 6,3, ‘00 SL600 & ‘02 E55 AMG), but I’ve always wanted a TR250. It’s a bucket list car and when I saw this one in Jasmine yellow I took the plunge.
I will try to post some pics as I progress through the project. I can’t tell you how nostalgic and fun it’s been to dive back into British engineering and putting my standard tools back into use. These cars have always been a blast and I look forward to bringing the underside of this vehicle to the standard of the exterior!
