TRIUMPH 1300 DASH FULL

I reckon £800 will get it on the road again, I'll do a full resto if it needs it after I've finished the other car. I decided to push her out of her resting place and have a good look over it to see what it'll take to get it roadworthy again. The bodyshell of that one goes away for blasting, welding and painting soon so last week I took pity on the old girl just sitting in the corner. The reason for the lack of progress is the work I'm doing on another big project, not likely to be finished before 2018. I did manage to get it running, unbelievably it started first turn of the key after 16 years of inactivity. I didn’t do a great deal with it after this, it was pushed into a corner of the lock up and left alone. So, up on the ramp this week, new fuel line and the engine block flushed and the rad refitted, hopefully, we'll have a runner this week! Few more pics: It was a non runner due to an ignition fault but I've found that it's the wire from the coil to the fuse box, severed at the bulkhead. The LH inner wing behind the strut turret requires some fresh tin and the extremities of the scuttle.

TRIUMPH 1300 DASH DRIVERS

The rear wheelarch on the drivers side is a bit frilly and the wing bottoms have rusted through. I wonder if these adverts for the selling dealer caught her eye?Ĭondition wise, the floors, sills, boot floor, doors, all rock solid. It's still on its original (perished) cross plies! It was bought from nearby from a garage in Crosby, Liverpool. It's had two owners, one of whom never drove it so it's had the one lady owner from new with 46k miles on it which I reckon could be genuine. I had a pretty strict budget and a decent 2000 Mk1 was pushing it so I began to look at 1300s.Īfter seeing a few overpriced rotters, including one that was described as 'mint, requiring minor cosmetics' that in the flesh looked like it had been at the bottom of the North Atlantic since first registration, this little beauty appeared for sale 5 miles from my house on the day I'd agreed to go and view one in Essex.ĭecided I didn't have enough on my plate with one restoration on the go so I decided to take the plunge with this last week. I came close to a 2000 Mk1 last Christmas before I decided I'd had enough of being messed around by the seller. I've always loved the look of Michelotti's 60's Triumph saloons, the 2000 Mk1 and its smaller stablemate the 1300. Posted: Wed 2:09 am Post subject: 1968 Triumph 1300 FWD
