Bought my 73 Triumph used in 76. It was my only car until
85. Major failures in that period (80-100K miles)
Rear wheel bearing (destroyed hub trying to fix)
Clutch fork pin (left me stranded)
Headlight switch (had to do a long drive that night too)
Alternator
Points set (actually I think what happened was something got
in there and screwed up the gap)
I remember losing brakes once, can't remember what was wrong
(bad master probably , got it home with the hand brake)
The top would reliably leak, but I guess that's not what we're
talking about!
