    Okay I'll give in..........it's a 1932 Triumph Super Seven 2 seat roadster, part of the body has been replaced about 40 years ago, it had originally been ''hotted up'' and should give spritely performance. However, some people have a habit of telling porkies when selling cars. The motor is rather tired and the clutch needs investigating as it's near impossible to change gear at speed !!

    I purchased it with the intention of maybe hillclimbing it or similar. I now have to decide whether to strip it down and sort it or pass it on to a new keeper.

    Tried everything Ian, it's probably got a holden release bearing or some other hidden horror in there. Friday will tell if it gets taken to pieces or not

    Now have I told you about the mint condition, unmolested Nissan Skyline parked in the shed

    Dragging the property value down is it? Are the neighbours complaining?

    The super seven was launched in 1927 they were fitted with a 7. 9 hp or 832 cc side valve engine. At the time they were the main competitor with the Austin seven but slightly bigger in size and featuring the much more desirable and advanced for its time braking system; four wheel hydraulic brakes. The super seven sports are now very collectible.


    Pretty sure mine was originally a tourer Ian
