[TR] Fw: Triumph Roadster

[spook01@comcast.net]

Drive one first, Frank.   There are other rides out there that will match your specs, and are more useable.
BTW, I noticed how little my friend's car's front wheels turn, lock to lock.  There is a physical stop, so nothing is broken.
It just seems odd for the car to have such an immense turning radius.  It's huge compared to my Riley,  esp. considering how maneuverable Triumphs in general seem to be.  
I wonder if there was a tire clearance problem and this was the fix?

Why would anyone want one?
 
1) super sexy lines
2) suicide doors
3) all
aluminum body over ash
4) mother in law rear seat
5) classic feeling when
driven
6) rarity
 
 
 
If you wanted one, why would you pay $83,000?
 
if this
lottery ticket in my pocket is good..ill negotiate or seek out same or better.
but on my current poor salary, all I can do is lust

A 1949 Triumph Roadster, supposedly all original, for only $83,000
($8459.81 in 1949 dollars.)! A. Why would anyone want one? OK, I get it
you're a hardcore Triumph guy and you need to fill out your collection. 
B. If
you wanted one, why would you pay $83,000?

There was a TV movie recently
about WW2 spies circa 1942 that had a 
Triumph Roadster in several of the
shots. Looked period but wasn't.
