Post by jojax64 »

Take a look at this photo, taken in Glasgow's East End c. 1950's/'60's.
Anybody recognise the sports car on the left....a Sprite or a Morgan, maybe? :-? :-?

I think it's a Triumph 1800 or 2000 Roadster.
Think Bergerac car.

I've actually got a parts and workshop manual for one somewhere in my collections (father in law was a mechanic and passed his books onto me as I collect motoring literature) !
