Hi,
Has anyone ever driven one of these, what did you think?
How much are they worth?
Do you know of any for sale?
Hopefully someone will know something about them as they made 1300 or so of them.
Thanks
William

Saw one at a track day once with a Ford 2.9 V6 in it! Very nice.

i used to own one, bought it from a breakers yard, came with a 1937 ford pop chassis, i binned that as it was too far gone to restore, bought a triumph herald used the chassis running gear etc you could probably get one for about £1000-£1400 for a decent runner or a couple of hundred for a restoration project best place to look would be Rochdale owners club and fairthorpe owners club i cant comment on handling of original but the triumph wasn't the worlds best

Hi Hal 1,
The one I have found has a triumph herald chassis a 1500 engine. I take it, it is the same as the one you had. How would you discribe the handling? Did you have any problems with it?
Thanks everyone everyone else for their posts.
William
