This is a great question! I have a fun TR6 that I regularly drive, and
another, mostly disassembled, that I have now realized will never see
road time again, and parts (the entire drive train) of a third that
provide the occasional useful part. What to do with the many extras (and
extra extras, now that I think about all the crap I've picked up here
and there over the years)? We have this fantastic communication forum,
but actually moving physical parts (some of them way too heavy/bulky to
economically ship) is a major roadblock. I suspect that the next several
years are going to see a lot of metal get dropped off at the local metal
recycling yard.
I've benefited from the generosity of many of you who have
donated/sold/shipped needed accessories as I've kept up my habit over
the years. I'm not particularly close to the epicenter of the Triumph
club I belong to (Texas Triumph Register, Houston) but I've
bought/sold/been given/provided parts with several of the members. But
our numbers are dwindling, and we are not going to see another
generation of Triumph aficionados. I will likely end up trashing a bunch
of the spares I've collected. Like the good TR6 head/block in the corner
(with the head firmly stuck on) that came out of a mostly-destroyed car
I came across.
So I also await the wisdom of The List.
