The car is a 1978 5 speed that lived its entire life in La Mesa, California with 2 owners till approx 5 years ago where it was bought by a fellow who had a British car garage in New Jersey, He had it in a motor museum for a while and then it was imported to Sylvan Lake, Alberta. It had 31,000 original and genuine miles on the clock and having spent the bulk of its life in California is in amazing shape. There has been a slight bit of corrosion under the nose where the drain holes let water away from the bonnet surround but it has been remediated. It also came with a front tow eye broke off but it has been re-welded back on. It is the original Carmine red and is in real good shape but as any car of that age there are the obligatory stone chips and a very small ding on the rear right.

Original Triumph Toolkit included. Comes with original crown wheel and pinion (3.45) currently has a 2.84 from a Rover SD1 Vanden Plas. Custom Fitted Car Cover.
