Club Triumph

just been speaking to the winner of my ebay auction for my toledo- how disappointing that none of you bid on it, and the winner is a scrapman who's going to break it!!! :'( :'( :'(

Dont sell it to him then...   Bad feed back is one thing but then seeing a perfectly fixable rare car go to its death is another!  

PM 4 U

It would be a great basis for a 4WD project that I am happy to donate the gearboxes and an engine for.

But - I can't do this myself - everything I have is going into the TR7 rally plans (Project Manx 2010)

its gone i'm sad to say.
the new owner is a dealer, Fengate Cars, near Spilsby in Lincolnshire. pm me if anyone wants the phone number.

the guy's name is mark, his number is 0759 576 6445, and he is willing to sell the complete car if anyone wishes to make him an offer over what he paid me, ie more than £190.

sadly a lot of cars worth more as parts than as a whole.

But luckily a clu triumph member has rescued it from destruction!!! thank you Martin!!

Yes, its now mine and it will live again.

I went up to the fens yesterday with two pals from the Dolomite Club to collect it. We put a battery on her and she started straight away and purred like a kitten. The car is having a couple of small jobs done and will be MOT'd by the end of next week.

I will arrange to collect your spares Dave at some stage soon as they will be useful to her restoration.

This is a good car and to see it broken up would have been a tragedy. So a good result all round really.

Re-name the thread!

I love you, Martin Bellinger!

ahh, so now i know who you are!!! i was after that xe engined tolly on ebay too, but unfortunately i was outbid by someone!!!!!     oh yes nnr has sweet running gear, effortless on RBRR, but was crying out for overdrive!!

you will need to weld the front ends of the sills, replace the voltage regulator on the bulkhead, by the servo, and prob some tyres for the mot. i was running it with lowered springs, spax shocks and sprint wheels with 185/60x13 falken tyres.  not fast, but handled quite well!!! so glad you've rescued it!!!! i think i've got the brown vinyl for the parcel shelf too, i was going to make another one because that cardboard has some dodgy speaker holes in it doesn't it!!!

Well done Mr Bellinger from me too  :)

Like I said - re-name the thread!!

I am delighted to report that this car now has twelve months MOT. ;D

Good man Martin!!

Does anyone know what happened to this car, it's no longer on DVLA?  I'm after this or another one if anyone know's of any?

Thanks Rod, however yours has too many doors!

Things have changed quite a bit since 2008 and a 2 door has become sought after to create the Sprint that BL refused to make.
I have a good Sprint engine and box...............now where is a 2 door.

Sort the Spitfire out!

A Toledo sprint! They should have made them for sure.

There are a few out there, they just seem to look so right. I do like toledo's.
