Good to see the car has a long history of proper use. We love the Alps as well, but it’s a really long drive to get there…… so we don’t manage it every year….. Pretty sure you,d get in plenty of trouble for “3 in a 3” these days! -
Travel with the TR Before the season 1987 could really start, there was a new front mask and the newly acquired engine was overhauled by a "Triumph specialist". I also think differently about that today. In June we drove to the Alps/Dolomites with some TR friends. I can no longer remember what happened with the police at the beginning of the trip. Tuscany/Italy 1988. We had a bit of trouble with the OD, but it was only the ground connection that had come loose. Tuscany 1988 On the way home to Germany, there were three of us in the TR. In Tuscany, one of our group members unfortunately had a small accident with his TR5, which meant he was no longer drivable. But his co-driver was determined to continue driving the TRs. During the day in our TR3, in the evening when it got cooler in a TR4A with the hood down. See Video. 27-VTS_01_2_1_dtvs2_hyp1.mp4 -

This ^^^^ I made myself the tool in the GT6 manual. As pointed out, with the lighter cars and lighter spring it is possible to lift the car off axle stands which isn't very safe. Pulling the top out of the diff with long studs is not difficult to do. With the body off the easiest/safest way is to fit the spring to the uprights and then pull it down onto the diff with ratchet straps. In my experience anyway. Body on you can bolt up the spring to the diff. Fit the spring lifter/wood beam or preferably one each side then lift the car off the axle stands with a jack just enough to prop the ends of the lifters on tall axle stands. You can then lower the whole car on the jack to just the right height to bolt up the uprights. -
Glad they weren’t aimed at me as I was only 2. Hamish Moffat was a true “character” https://www.bosburyhistoryresource.org.uk/PH-Hamish-Moffatt.html i don’t think Daphne Roscoe was a relation of mine ?! -

Looks like it came out ok. I’ve seen cars “restored” in USA before…. That TR6 we looked earlier this year….. it was ugly…. And unsafe -

I have always used a spring lifting tool, always with the body attached and on GT6/Spits, so as the number of leaves is less than a Herald/Vitesse, its always been very easy. If I remember correctly, the old Haynes GT6 manual shows the dimensions for the tool? -

I was wondering where my mate parked his Alfasud 😇 -
I had never done any bodywork before, so I left it to the "professionals". I didn't realize what that meant until 40 years later. The outer sills were replaced and the front apron repaired on the body. To my horror, I saw in the old pictures that there is still an ugly piece of metal under the grille (it came from America). The two front fenders were so corroded at the bottom that new sheets of metal had to be made and welded in. So the Triumph went to the painter. That was right after the restoration in 1986 with new wire wheels and still with white wall tires.
