my BL tat parked at Toledo Close, Canley site of the Triumph Factory........ Front Arch/tyre air gap has been improved slighty since that photo was taken! I Should also add the Toledo is my daily driver and ultra reliable, Even compared to my J-tat!

Not all BL cars were unreliable, and at least they don't rust like Fords! Think the whole industrial action thing got convoluted with unreliability. They're just as a reliable as Fords of that era.

That was at the the Peterborough BMC/BL show in '08. I spoke to the bloke but can't remember the spec of the car now. Was stickered up for the grin factor.

Saw it in a book years back and really quite liked it. I think it'd have sold, tbh. But, went the way of so many BL products of the day, into the archives to be quietly forgotten --Phil
