are we there yet...are we there yet!!!

New member to the SOC from Australia - just picked up my first Stag and heading home - just 450 miles to go!!! The suspense is killing me.

My Triumph history is the last 5 years with a wonderful MK1 PI Saloon that i hated selling, but i wanted a Triumph soft top after driving a few during club runs.

This one is 1975 TV8 auto, originally Mimosa but was stripped back about 4 years ago and is now very....err.....YELLOW.

Thankfully comes with a set of original wheels that will be put on rather than those "things" that are on it now.

Anyway, enough dribbling, i need to crack on.

I look forward to boring you all with the usual newbie stupid questions. (and some more pics when safely home).

Thanks, Glen.

Thanks Will and Raoul,

Yes was on ebay but i purchased after ebay as highest bidder could not find the dollars.

I did do some research including talking to the bodyshop that stripped and repainted and the Triumph specialist workshop in Sydney who has done a lot of the service work for some years.....but its all a gamble and it could meltdown in 48hrs.......all part of the fun.
