The following extract from Staton Abbey's book about Triumph sports cars details the best way of setting accurate ignition timing:-

Well, looking closely at your signature picture, I think I may be right in saying that it appears to have a non-standard paint job.

Wow Phil - you thinking of doing some modifications to your car then?

Wow Phil - what a fabulous lineup of bands! Very much my era and to my taste. Was the Moggie's heater man enough to dry you out on the way home?

I am looking to buy my first Moggie and have seen a possible contender, a 1964 salon which has 101K on the clock. I am looking to use as an everyday driver Suzanne Why? What exactly are you expecting from such a car? Now, before anyone accuses me of rudeness and negativity, I would throw in a remin...

But no one will - not at the price that the vendor is likely to expect to get for it. Probably the same reason that the second owner never used it either. The whole appeal of such uniquely low-mileage vehicles is the absence of miles and their 'preserved in aspic' condition, turning them into curios...
