Hello to all,
It was another great Triumph show at stoneleigh this year.i was impressed with the cars that turned up and parked in the Triumph only section.i saw three lovely PI\'s,one of which was for sale,looking like a bargain at just over £2000!
My friend and i picked up a few useful spares for our cars,that were quite cheap.
There were some nice cars on display on all of the club stands,and i saw a mk1 PI estate too!
Next year,we will be going to this show in our Triumph\'s,after they are restored<IMG>

Lovely day for the show but I must have been looking in the wrong places for cheap spares, I hardly found a thing.
I found a bloke who wanted £6 for a rocker cover gasket and somone else had a couple of Mk1 wings for £110 each. This is cheaper than Fitches, but only just and certainly wouldnt have covered the travelling expenses. I went to go and offer him £200 for the pair after lunch but they had gone and I found one later on another stall with £150 tag on it.
I cant help thinking that some of these traders are taking us for a bunch of mugs and we should all do a bit more putting stuff back and walking away.
I am also a bit jaded by wading through mountains of TR and Stag stuff to find a few bits and bobs for Big Saloons.
I got a nice sill for £10 and some plugs for £6 but dont really need them and I could, just as easily, have wandered round the barns and saved the same, if not more, by not paying to go into the show.
I will go again, if the weather is fine and my son and his mate want to go but I wont be bothering to look out for any bargains.

I enjoyed the show and managed to part with some money and also enjoyed the bartering, i manage to buy some shot blasted steels with nearly new tyres, chromed rocker cover, rocker gaskets (£1.50 each) rear bumber and i few bits and bobs but i thought there may have been a few more cars there but all in all a good day.
