I've been offered a 'barn find', one owner 1300TC by someone that wants it restored.  It's a 1970 J reg in red (Cherry I think), which I may or may not retain myself.  It will need a considerable amount of work as it's been untouched in a secure garage since 1989.

I'll pass it on to anyone who will genuinely restore it and put it back on the road. The current ower doesn't want any money for it but does want to keep in touch to ensure it is being restored.  If anyone wants to save this car please send me a PM for more details.  

 Triumph 2.5PI Saloon Mk2 - Ice Blue RBRR 1998, 2000, 2002, 2006 and 2008 and Triumph GT6 Mk2 - increasingly becoming Jaguar Racing Green

Yogi and I are collecting this car early next month, thanks Nick :)

(P.S, It's Damson not cherry!)

Car is now sat in my workshop awaiting some TLC, thanks to Nick for advertising it and a big thanks to Yogi for being my Co-driver.
The car is very rusty but very saveable, the interior will need a complete replacement and the engine is seized but not sure yet how seized.
Pics on my FB page for anyone interested....

Cheers Yogi, hope you and Mrs G had a good time.
Let me know your days off over the next few weeks and you can come over to see the progress.

You mean you haven't finished it yet?

I've just emailed most of the pictures to you, but to anyone else who's interested here's a couple of them:

Being dragged out of the barn.

Being considerably lower with Sprint wheels helps too.
