An unrestored car. Original: paint, engine (even the coil and spark plug wires are date coded ’72), transmission and tunnel, radiator shroud, radiator and fan, fuel pump, emission controls, factory brushed aluminum wheel beauty rings, wiper motor, key set, seats, dash, crash pads and dash pad, steering wheel, glass, chrome, bumpers, door cards, rear panels, seat belts and parking ports. The 42 year old factory soft top is original and perfect as are the original boot and tonneau covers. The carbs still have their factory brass ID tags. Body extensively rust-proofed when new prevented any rust to date. The car is always stored inside, never wrecked, never driven in the rain or washed with water.

Service history, ownership and mileage are documented, Triumph Heritage Certificate on file. A very rare intact factory paper quality sticker, a paper Triumph dealer recall sticker, and the plastic emissions sticker reside under the bonnet. The original Triumph dealership sticker and a 1980 state inspection sticker remain on the rear. New carpet, clutch, and Monza exhaust were recently added. Hoses, and other expendables were replaced through the years as required. I changed the brakes and clutch hydraulics to DOT5 silicon fluid and lightly buffed the paint to remove oxidation and fine scratches from the car cover. I changed the transmission fluid to Redline MTL and replaced the original cartridge oil filter with a 90* spin on filter. I replaced the factory original Vandervell thrust washers and verified the engine has the factory original Vandervell bearings which are in great condition resulting in 60-75 pounds of hot oil pressure above 1,500 rpm. I replaced the 15 year old tube-type French-Micheline redlines (4,000 miles) with modern redline radials for safety concerns.

The car’s original factory steel hardtop was not acquired with the car. I restored/added a rust-free factory steel hardtop in 2014.
