Since we have a number of new folks on the list, here's another rehash of my
Triumph parts supplier listing. Feel free to send me comments, updates
or reviews of the various places.

ps: Some fellow had trouble with getting the key to turn in the starter.
I myself never have that trouble, as I use the ignition switch! (Sorry,
I couldn't resist)

Specializing in buying "yet another wreck" as the wife says and consuming mass
quantities of fermented barley beverages before, during and after (if ever)
restoration, such as it is, gets accomplished. A modest supply of used parts,
Triumph only, some new MGB and Triumph stuff available, Weber jets at a good
price, and plenty of free advice. Good advice extra.

TR Sales,
Fort Worth Tx.

This is where I bought my 1st TR. They sell & service all kinds
of British cars. You can also mail order parts from them. Their prices
are very reasonable. (ie 164 dollars for a TR-6 carpet set.) I'm pretty
pleased with them.
Very British
(don't have address)
(518)-843-1358
Used british car parts. Very reasonable prices. Run by Dave Furiani who buys,
disassembles, stocks, prices, everything himself. Knows quite a bit about
British cars and is willing to give lots of helpful advice. Has parts for TR,
MG, Jag, Rover, TVR, Cortina, and others.

also do business as Sunbeam Spares, and carry MG, Austin Healy and Datsun Z
parts.
