tell him to electonic ignition from boyer bransden.
pics please and i bet i will hate him, lol
Sounds very tasty and I’d love to see a picture or two! There’s two Triumph spares places I know of in London there’s Reg Allen in West London or Ace Classics in SE London (Ace deal in pre unit spares). In Essex you’ve got Leigh Classics near Southend or FD Motorcycles near Harlow. If you google them you’ll get details, they all have web sites.
£4000 for a non runner sounds like a reasonable price but you really need to ask someone who know’s their stuff and who’s had a good look at the bike. It’s quite a specialist area, if I were you I’d pop over to the Real Classic web site and ask on the forum there.
The Triumph Owners club is worth joining, £17.50 a year and you’ll get a lot of info and some shops give discount for spares. If you want details let me know. Get it running and you’ll be fighting people off to buy it!
or you could ask the man/place that built it too: http://www.dresda.co.uk/
