Hi all, had problems posting but sorted now (thanks Reebs) I have a 75 for just one week so far, the wife has MGF. In the past we have had many Triumphs, Stag, GT6, 2000, Vitesse, TR7, Dolomite and more. We also have 2 Triumph motorbikes so I guess I/we are fans.
As for the 75 I collected it last Saturday and have done around 300 miles in it this week. It's a diesel manual with 54k on the clock with supporting history and seems very good if a little slow. The only faults found (so far) are the drivers door only unlocks with the key and the horn don't work
Sorry to hijack the thread but I can't find my welcome thread.
