.....To everyone.
I'm not entirely new to the Triumph scene, having had my Sprintfire for the last 7 years.
Also, previously owned a MK1 2000.
Just bought a '69 Vitesse 2 litre saloon for transporting the kids about.(They love it - fast and noisy!)
I have fitted period style alloys, classic bucket seats, electronic ign and a few other little bits and bobs.
Any Purists out there may want to cover their eyes for this next bit !
The Sprintfire is , as the name suggests, a 1500 fitted with a Dolly Sprint 2.0 16v engine and TR7 5-speed box. GT6 discs, Princess 4 pot calipers, bushed/
sprung, custom interior, 15" alloys etc.
If there is a particular area or section/group etc for modded cars then please point me to it.
If anyone is interested in what I've done or wants to ask anything about the cars, please, feel free.

I think the body of your SEJ Frankenstein monster was first registered in Wales !

Hi.
I bought the car off a welshman in Evesham so it may well be of welsh origin.
I'll try and get some information together for you, with some photo's. It should be back on the road for Easter. It's been laid up a couple of
years and has just had a new cill, rearfloorpan repairs and I am just completing a major overhaul of the brakes.
The seats I fitted in the Vitesse are classic bucket style. Not sure which ones- I bought them off E-bay! Black vinyl with white piping. Fairly
easy to fit to the original runners. Just a couple of simple angle brackets to hinge the front and a couple more to support the rear. Took a
grand total of 1 hour to fit!!
