You guys (and gals) with offspring that are interested in the mechanics of Triumph are lucky. My son kept informing me when I was restoring Huxley (the red Mk1 Spit) that when I got it finished he was going to drive it. So I found his a very nice Mk2 which he bought. However, he has never shown the slightest interest in doing anything to it except drive it. But since he can afford to have someone else to do his wrenching, I guess he observes his own limitations! :)
