A few modified ones floating about, but they seem to be owned by the type of people that like to drive the wheels off their cars instead of parking them in fields and talking about the wheels Chased several around Britain a couple of weekends ago, including a fantastic estate called "Le Bucket" that I can't find a decent picture of, and GUR (Gertie?) pictured above. I used to see Grunty's estate around regularly when he had it on the road, cool as a very cool thing: Thread HERE

leakyshed2000: definitely keep the existing wheels, tart them up a bit, and go with that particular flow. There's the makings of a sweet car there.

This is my old one, daily driven for a year. Standard when I bought it, it ended up lowered with Capri -2" front springs and Pi rears with TR4 front wheels and TR5 rears. The stickers were done by a friend for a car show but ended up staying on the car. Even with the lowered ride height it still ran and drove really well. Definatly a car I'd have again.

@ merlind100: are lowered capri front springs a direct replacement for the Triumph ones? Lowered/uprated capri springs are a lot cheaper than Triumph ones....

As I said at the start of the thread they can be picked up really cheap but I have no spare cash at the minute.
I need to get my passat up to spec and repaint my lambretta to sell it to free up some cash .
Typically there will be none about when I have the spare money

@ merlind100: are lowered capri front springs a direct replacement for the Triumph ones? Lowered/uprated capri springs are a lot cheaper than Triumph ones.... Yes they went straight in Hi all. I am restoring my 19th 2500. I decided to make a project of this one. I just read the post about the capri springs. Is no mods needed at all to fit these springs and which model and year of capri springs would fit my triumph 2500. Any help appreciated. thanks

i don't have any pics, its a cast bellhousing, i was told its a one off. fits nicely. might be worth using a triumph bw35 bellhousing and some ally plate though. thats how i planned to do it originally.

Here is a picture of my long term project. Lots of new panels, full respray, engine rebuilt, susp rebuilt with Witor springs and fully superflexed. Everything new or rebuilt. Still needs putting back together. I have some goodies to fit: TR6 twin downpipe manifold, Witor full sports system, PI cam 15 X 7 alloys etc... Will probably se the road in 2016 hopefully!!

No mods made to mine to use Capri springs, I used them because I had them lying about. All Capri springs are interchangeable

There were a few nice original ones at Stoneleigh park today (which moron left his camera/phone in the truck?!) and saw a lovely sounding lowered white mk2 picking his way through the car park.

Your opinion is invalid, I've seen your wife.
