Description:


Raced in the Ohio area by the previous owner since the late sixties. The SCCA log book that came with the car goes back to the mid seventies. I have raced the car with VARA. The chassis was rebuilt two years with new suspension, roll cage, electrics, fuel cell and transmission. The engine was just rebuilt and has only break-in time. The suspension uses the stock pick-up points but has been converted to coil over front and adjustable spring perches in the rear. Addco adjustable sway bars front and rear. Corner weights and set up was done by West End Alignment. QA1 adjustable shocks and Eibach springs (the springs are now interchangeable with standard race springs-the Triumph springs are an odd size and not readily available in different rates). The brake system has been converted to a dual system with a Tilton pedal assembly. A Remington wheel spacer kit has been installed on the front axles. The electric system was recently re-wired with push button breakers. An accusump system with an electric valve was added. The engine has an crank scrapper, windage tray, custom baffle and oil pick up. Aluminum front engine plate. Racing pulley kit. Remote oil filter and cooler. Steel shin guard between the bell housing and pedals. The overall condition of the car is very good. The car looks good but being a race car there are of course nicks in the paint, small cracks in the windscreen, etc.
