No excuse now not to do our own 2.5 saloon head rest's as they are currently that limp I might as well have an Asda bag full of polystyrene loose packing material sellotaped to the top of the seats!

New Product

Strange time of year to be launching new product I know but here go's. We have copied the massively heavy cast iron GT6 specific alternator mounting bracket. On my scales the cast iron original is 1045 grammes, and our alloy copy is 398 grammes, a useful saving! Steve Phillips produced a short run of something similar many years ago, but he sold his last one a few years back. Not bad value at £34.95 inc VAT considering some fairly hefty pattern prices that we have to cover (it's cast and machined this time, not CNC'd from solid, that's getting expensive as aluminium get's pricey). To be honest we are not predicting huge potential sales for this one, but it had to be done. Oh well it's a good job I love my Triumph's, they ain't never going to make me a millionaire! Nearly forgot the all important part number, it's 214268A.

Warp drive!

Or at least that's what it feels like to drive a good TR5 after a month or two driving the works diesel Transit. I had sort of gotten into a rut of driving the Transit because it was 'convenient', big mistake. A couple of days ago I went home in a customers TR5 (all in the interests of science you will understand), what a revelation! It's been a year or two since I last drove one (even though we own a small fleet of TR5's ourselves), I shouldn't leave it as long next time. By the time I had pulled up on my drive at home I was really buzzing, fantastic. What superb cars Triumph made. Make mental note, I need more regular Triumph 'fixs'.
