This TR3 has come in for a once over. It is new to the owner. It looks to be a very nice find.

Triumph Spitfire Dual Carbs
This Spit received a dual carburetor intake and expert fettling and is ready for more miles.

Dual Carbs
More TR6 Work
Pieces and parts continue to go into the 6 to make it look closer to being a functional car. Below is an overview of the latest.
TR6 – coming along
Current state of the engine bay.
Injector Adapters.
Dash is in.
TR6 Reassembly
Dean is currently plumbing the fuel lines from the tank to the engine compartment for the Patton fuel injection. The return line is in, the vent line is in place, leaving only the fuel supply to the front to do. Finishing the lines will allow for other components to be connected.

TR6 Paint Job – Before
This fine TR6 is being disassembled before going to Collision Masters in South Carolina for rust repair and paint. I wanted to put up a picture because before and afters are enjoyable. I do love a repaint.
Triumph Spitfire Improvements
This Spitfire is in to go from a single carb to dual carbs and a new exhaust. They had dual carbs across the pond but singles here. A Spitfire is a small car, so upon seeing them I’m tempted to give one to my eight year old so he can learn to drive. What could go wrong?
Famished
This 250 race car was cutting out at high rpm. One of the problems was fuel delivery. New (larger) lines are going in from the tank to the front. This car will go back on the dyno before being sent back out.
Onward…
The head is on the TR6 now. Step by step she goes.
More TR6 Assembly
The dash, transmission, rear end, and block are in at this point. More to come soon.
More Stagrolet
The wheel cylinders on the rear drums of the Stag were frozen solid, so we removed them (and installed new ones) to facilitate the rear wheels rotating. The three wire alternator only had one wire to it and, therefore, didn’t function. Dean added the two necessary wires and now it works well.
