Suddenly (after 50 degree days last weekend), we bounced back into sub freezing winter with ice, snow, etc so I decided to pull out some old workshop manuals and assorted other Triumph reading and ca

Reminds me of the story of when Sir William Lyons visited the Jaguar dealer in New York during a very bad winter storm. The sales rep asked why Jaguar couldn't build a heater sufficient to keep the i

It wasn't just Triumphs. It appears that the British car industry wanted to discourage driving under adverse conditions. I actually had that happen to me when I was moving from Seattle to the Montere

Heaters were optional extras on many English cars in the 50s and even into the 60s. I had at least two Morris Minors that had no heaters and I am pretty sure my 1960 Ford Popular didn't have one, eit

No doubt. I wasn't quite so lucky; used to have a dead battery at least twice a week because the generator just couldn't keep up with a short commute at night in cold rainy (or snowy) weather. At fi
