Thanks for sharing, Mark!

A very impressive build! I like the paint job and the matching wheels, but
am not sure about the door stripe. Bet he surprises lots of folks on the
road. But like your subject hinted, it's a restomod. You can tell how much
planning and hard work went into it.

My dearly departed 68 Mk3 gave me over a 100k miles and lots of fun with
just a header, Stebro exhaust, and an Empi camber compensator. I prefer
mostly stock with mild upgrades. But always glad to see any LBC (especially
Triumphs) still on the road.

Cheers,
Larry Griffin
