( one of the first production cars with a timing belt I believe. ) 'heaven forfend' ..new expression on me. but I like 'hark the hearld axle swing.' Triumph has a Sprite ..? can't think of it. Austin Healy Sprite, yes. On 5/4/2012 6:48 PM, Alistair Bell wrote: > A Triumph in Alaska! > > I'm curious, Stag? Spitfire? TR(insert number), Sprite? GT6? Dolomite?
