Almost makes me miss my 1968 Spitfire! The TR-6 was my dream car for many years! Beautiful corral of great cars.

@@thecapitaltriumphregisterclub I’ve long had a soft spot for British sports cars. My very first car was a 1972 Spitfire that I bought in 1979. Mine was in Sienna Brown with a tan interior. My ex-wife’s late uncle was also a Triumph fan. He restored on his own a TR6 (in French Blue over black) as well as an Austin Healey 3000. Both cars were absolutely gorgeous. Living in New Hampshire, he had plenty of great roads to drive them on. Later on in his life he sold the big Healey, but he kept the TR6 (which he preferred driving). He and his wife participated in British car meets throughout New England. They won a few trophies and made many good friends in the process.

@@VirtualGuth The Spitfire was the car I fell in love with back in Jr. High School. My daily driver for 20 years was an MX5 Miata but finally purchased a '76 Spitfire 1500 and joined the club.

@@thecapitaltriumphregisterclub After all these years I still find the Spitfire to be an incredibly beautiful design and consider it to be one of Michelotti’s best. Thanks again for making the effort to record and post so many of your club’s events. I hope that you enjoy your Spitfire for many years to come!

In 1971 my wife drove to the hospital in my 1956 MGA with a 3 main B motor. She alerted me so I drove my Mini Truck with an Austin America motor and hot cam and twin SUs as fast as I could. Up a winding road to the hospital, Half way there is a large turn out. In the turn out was my MGA driver's door open ball peen hammer on the ground at the right rear. The hospital is 2 more miles up the hill. I nailed the throttle and gat to the hospital to be greeted by 2 nurses urging me to hurry. 45 minutes later my dear daughter Emily was born. How did she get there. Why the hammer. She cot there because my brother was on his way to work and saw her on the ground banging the fuel pump with the hammer, yes I still have the hammer. The fuel pump quit so he picked her up in his Triumph TR4 and dropped her off. She is long gone, the Mini Truck is long gone , my daughter is 52 and we are friends and neighbors.

There is a nice trick to put the pins back for the door handle and window winder. Cut a straight length from a wire coat hanger and cut halfway trough to make a new pin. Then insert the wire and wiggle back and forth to break the pin in place off. Voilà, no fiddling with long nose pliers or surgical clamps.

Where does that hose go that is attached to the valve cover vent? The early cars had a flame trap attached to that vent and the discharge of the trap was manifolds to each carburetor and the carbon canister.

Good question and don't know. It looks like it was passing through a hole cut into the wheel well. Might be vented to atmosphere considering he does not have any emissions control or charcoal canisters on the car anymore.
