Triumph 2000 MkI Overdrive Switch

Having discovered that the Lucas part number of the column mounted Triumph 2000 MkI overdrive switch is 34713, my saved search on eBay eventually turned up trumps with this new old stock item -

An absolute bargain at £8.51 !

Just need to remove the steering column cowling to fit it - although I've heard it's a pig of a job!

Records Galore!

October Sunshine

She moves! First time out the garage for nearly 12 months - albeit under the power of a tow rope. Still looks totally gorgeous.

My First Vitesse - OLO 451E

Back in 1993 after I finished college I bought my first Vitesse, registration OLO 451E. It was a dark blue 2 Litre (MkI) convertible with overdrive. I sold her a few years later when I moved to Canada, but was surprised to find this photo of her on Flickr, taken on 2nd May 2010 in Croxall, Staffordshire...

I'm going to try and dig out some photos, but if anyone knows the current owner, I have the original Triumph "Servicing Schedules" booklet here on my desk.

Shorrock C75B Supercharger

Although not suitable for a Triumph, this Shorrock Supercharger kit is a rare item still in its original box. I guess the rarity was reflected in the final price.

STARTING PRICE : £800.00
SOLD FOR : £1637.07
