Not much to tell, best thing you can do with it is rip it out and stick in a 350 chev. Less fuel, less weight, more hp. Best of british (underpowered, unreliable, overweight)
Speaking of which, I really should do something with my '69 GT cortina that's been in storage for 13 years....
I've got an Anglia, - and surprisingly it's not standard...
Does that count?

Yeah Triumph cars did have some brief moments of glory. Way back when boys were boys and girls were girl and no one had come up with the name boy racer. I owned a Toledo no less. Then a beaut red GT6 followed by two TR6s. Inline 2.5l sixes with that new dang technocrappy petrol injection stuff from the jetsons. Hardly got any pictures of them, stupid youth, was too busy having fun.
What better way to enjoy the Chch summer than a top down cruisy drive to Akaroa. Here is the awesome view from the Hilltop tavern!
my first car was a mk 3 zephyr, 2nd was a mk4 zodi then a hunter then a mk3 cortina then i bought a honda accord, only japs after that and havent had to lift a bonnet on a breakdown since except for a 6.2 deisel chevvy c10
Mate had the Chev 350 in his Jag,plus 12 bolt and turbo 350,but also had the original 6cyl and g/box and diff in shed,he was going to put the Jag back to original motor etc,but his mate chucked it in his T bucket,looked impressive did the jag motor and could it fly.
ohh look a bonet relese knob... gota be done aye so raced round the frount and lifted the hood.
