I dropped by the Triumph shop yesterday (British Sports Cars) [View all]

You might say "they don't make Triumphs anymore", and you'd be right. They stopped building them around '85 with the TR8, but there's a recycling warehouse near me where I get vintage parts for my own TR6 and for DUer Samplegirl's outstanding '64 TR4 (ask her about it if you have time). I try to stay in all their good graces.

The shop is like a reverse assembly line where scrap cars enter the far door and proceed forward until the car is in the racks that line the path.

New this year is a second shop race car, a 1963 Spitfire pushed into a corner.

Spot the Triumph parts back by the old race car.

This Spitfire will be racing this summer at the vintage sports car races on Put-In-Bay Island at Lake Erie.
