Dead battery in combination with generator problem at 138000 km (repair was about NZ$ 150)
Bought it, almost by accident, at a car fair for NZ$ 1750 ('as new' condition).
Never owned a Triumph before, but I'm very satisfied with this one.
Good handling, good comfort, reliable, nice strong and powerful straight six engine, nice interior, just fun to drive every time!
Spare parts in New Zealand still available at almost every street corner for 'low budget' prices.
Only downside is petrol consumption.
Completely agree. I recently bought a 77 with just 80kms at ellerslie car fair, $1300. Perfect little car. However I think the fuel consumptions to be expected for a car her age and class. Owner obviously didn't know how to advertise it, as I gave in to all the offers and sold for a massive profit months later. People fall in love with these charming little brits.
