West London sprayer

So, I am a rare, if ever, poster to this site. My 4 door 1955 is ready for paint. Everything has been welded and is solid ..ok almost like new. Silly amount of time spent. BUT now she sits in my garage as a rolling unit with the underside, innerwings, and engine bay all done but the body in primer a...

Running flush...

What, pray, is the trick to flushing a half full petrol tank and pipes in a 1954 series 2? What is wise to do and what is not wise? (as an admitted Triumph person I know about not undoing certain Triumph tank bottom taps for fear of ruining the thing etc). My motor runs, but only for the time it tak...

As a consequence, the lovely car roof has somewhat 'bowed' or 'bowled' with, unfortunately, some slight rippling in the metal. The...

Minors arising......

Ok I'll admit it. I have restored a Triumph Herald Convertible basketcase to being my beautiful daily driver. I have belonged to the TSSC for many years and have been to many shows. 22 years ago I got married to a woman. We all do these things. We used my 1954 Series 2 as a wedding car and all was w...
