Man, this brings up a lot of good memories I had with my ‘73 TR6. I had a much less harrowing experience getting mine home, which was tremendously thankful as I had picked it up in Toronto and drove it home to Long Beach. I had it gone over at a shop right after I picked it up, and other than a nail in the front left…
Welcome to Spitfire ownership! I bought this little guy 22 years ago this summer, and he still has pride of place in my garage:
I totally get the article, and I long for a bulldog Triumph TR6 as a weekend fun car. However, I currently have a 1968 Camaro that was an ISCA show car for many years and is a time capsule (had 19,750 orig mi when I bought it) from 1980, and it’s probably more fun to wash it and look at it than it is to actually drive… Read more
That was a fun read. I went through many of the same issues when I bought the TR6 ~6 years ago. It was located in Long Island, so I flew over from Pittsburgh, spent ~30 mins looking it over, went for a test drive. I had pretty much committed to buying it, because I had shipped a spare wheel and some tools over to LI a…
Here’s my version of British car ownership:
I never expected my 1948 Willys CJ-2A to make it 1,300 miles; the thing started out as a pile of rusty garbage, and…
Great article Peter! I have a road rashed front bumper that I’ve been thinking about repairing and you’ve inspired me to go this DIY route. There is a horizontal crease (BMW e90) above the repair area that I can mask to and I think no one will be the wiser. thanks for the great articles! Read more

A lot of older cars have saggy or misaligned bumpers that can be fixed with a bit of time and… Read more
My Willys CJ-2A farm Jeep—a junker whose rust brought me to the brink of insanity, and arguably beyond—continues to…
The Audi Allroad has become a running joke as possibly the least reliable car ever made, and for pretty damn good…
With its seemingly endless mechanical and electrical faults, I was convinced my 1948 Willys CJ-2A off-road project…
Here’s David’s Project Slow Devil, having made it 300 miles from Detroit to West Lafayette, Indiana. He might just pull this off. Read more
A few minutes after writing this post about the commencement of my 1,800 mile journey to Moab, my 1948 Willys CJ-2A…

Perfect timing for this article! I’m saving for a 2001 748s, and I’m about 2 paychecks away. can’t wait to get my hands on it. I have no problem fixing anything, so its actually part of the fun for me! Read more
This all looks somewhat familiar. My Triumph is currently being remedied of some electrical issues…imagine that…
