  Welcome to the club, Ben.
  
  
  It looks in good condition and you've bought it at the perfect time of year.
  
  The sunny days of summer 2007 are just around the corner...
  
  Hope you enjoy it.

    Nice looking car Ben,
    
    Darn it, I miss my Herald 1200 Cv, so much!!!
    
    Have a great summer, why not go to a few TSSC Surrey Area Meetings?
    
    I know you'll have a good time with them, good people.
    
    Take care

        I believe it is his pre 2002 membership number.

        It means he is boasting about his membership number.

          Sorry 2 disappoint, but I wasn't boasting.
          
          It has long been a habit to put membership numbers at the foot of correspondence.
          
          That's all.
          
          Interesting what people will read into things when there is no intent there!
          
          Regards

      Aye, the summer should be lovely, though may start hoping for some cool breezes after having to experience it overheating once already (thermostat knackered, &163;2.60 to fix so not too bad), though after having the bloody Saab I'm well used to coolant issues.
      
      I'll see if I can post a picture of the interior too, its lovely (shadow grey I think the colour is called, its a blue-y grey colour) - the back seats don't actually look as if they've ever been sat in (very shiny and neat back passenger cubbyholes). As a result of the overheating I'm probably going to try and fit a temp gauge just for my sanity's sake, and need to get the fuel guage working anyway as its currently on Zero and I'm just whacking in a full tank of petrol everytime I do 100 or so miles.
      
      I'm sure that I'll make myself known at the Surrey meetings (even if they are right on the flipping edge of Surrey, who would want to go near Reigate?! Its virtually Kent!), might get lost a few times as I'm actually from Newcastle and know nothing about this part of the world, except that beer costs far too much. Every area needs a pseudo-geordie though, adds class. Probably even make the one next month.

        Great looking car there Ben.
        
        Regarding the Surrey meet, I used to go there and they are a really friendly bunch, and Karen and Adam the AOs are always helpful. Adam is a full time Triumph mechanic so can often fix the odd niggling problem on someones car in the pub car park!
        
        I don't know if you're planning to come to Standard Triumphs at Brooklands (STAB) on the 22nd but Karen and Adam will be manning the TSSC stand, so you'll be able to get quality directions to the pub straight from the horses mouth, as it were!

          Was considering popping along to Brooklands, just for a bit of a lookround if possible, depends when I'm working that weekend (some of us only get one weekend off in 3 ... but then again that means I've got 5 days of hopefully glorious sunshine now!)

  Just thought I'd put a couple of other pictures up that I've got lying around. Off to go polish some chrome. (Oh, and the handbag/purse isn't mine, didn't come with the car. Thankfully.)
