One minute you've never heard of a TX Tripper, the next you find you've got two in the workshop. This one has a 1600 Triumph 6 cylinder from a Vitesse mounted in what is likley a similarly sourced chassis. It's been running relatively recently but from what came out of the sump, basically a 50/50 mix of oil and petrol, I'm going to rebuild the carburettors for a start. I'm also going to replace all hoses, overhaul the ignition system and basically make it ready for the road. The brakes and suspension look like they've already had work done, maybe not recently but not many miles ago, new ball joints, pads, hoses and the like so hopefully that side of things should all be straightforward. And it's a free t-shirt for anyone who can name the car in the background, unless it's yours or you've been in the workshop today. And I don't mean the SD1.
