Perhaps I went a little crazy...

In a move that surprised even myself, I returned home today with a receipt for a 1971 Triumph Spitfire in tow. As impulse purchases go, I guess this is the worst I've made to date... particularly as it has the potential to eat up obscene amounts of my time and money!

1971 MkIV Triumph SpitfireFor the time being, its a bit of a restoration project, but at least I can run it in the mean time. The interior and engine bay seem to have been rather bodged together, but the bodywork and chassis generally seems sound, which is what I was after - whilst I haven't really got the facilities or expertise to take on much in the way of bodywork, I can certainly give the rest of it a go.

Going with a classic insurance specialist will certainly save me a bit of money, but I can't really justify running the eurobox at the same time, so I'll have to sell that on and hope this will be nice and reliable - only time will tell.
