I ran across this when visiting a friend in Hilton Head, SC. I'm not a Triumph guy so take my opinions with a grain of salt.
The owner bought it new in 1974, the paint has been resprayed once (with original color). It has about 40+ thousand miles on it. The color is brown outside and tan inside with matching tonneau and top. Nice looking car. The owner fired it up for the first time in 7 months or so while I was there (sounded good, no thumps, clicks, clinks, or whatever). The engine compartment was clean with no obvious oil leaks. Overall, it showed it had been taken care of but allowed to sit too long in my opinion. I would have been terrorizing the island roads in that thing. He said he never took it out in the rain and I believe him.
Other observations:
The rubber components were showing their age. Doors had good alignment. Tires were old (according to owner - I didn't look myself). The seats and carpeting were in very good condition. Dash was very good and all instruments appeared to be good. 4 speed transmission.
That's about all I can think of. If you are interested, PM me and I'll pass along the phone number and name. I'll see if I can get a photo for you.
If there is any interest, I'll post this in the classified section.
