The story

This 1975 Triumph was rescued from storage in a garage where it had spent many years. It received a thorough and comprehensive restoration of all parts and bodywork, with rusted sections in the body replaced by newly fabricated pieces welded into place.

After stripping all the bodywork to bare metal, the car was repainted in Triumph Signal Red, including the chassis throughout. Nearly all of the original interior trim, including the seats, had been lost, so the interior was replaced in full.

The car now enjoys both a soft-top hood and a factory hardtop, which was also fully restored.
