Hi. My name is Jon. I live in Devon, and have an
unfortunate passion for cars! I say unfortunate,
because I am sure as fellow sufferers will agree, they
can take up an awfully large amount of your time (and
money!).
If you go carefully, car by car, drive and enjoy them,
it can be a rewarding hobby. But, if like me, and a
few others, the bug completely gets hold, you collect
and collect and beaver it all away "safely" or because
it "will be useful oneday, somewhere, for someone" and
you end up where i am today! With a barn full of cars
and parts, and only one life to fix them all in!
This is not so bad if you are lucky enough to own the
barn, and live to 99, but I have always rented, this
is not a good move for the serious squirreler away of
parts and machinery!
So ..... at last, after 20 years some common sense has
at last prevailed. Or could that be a last chance
offered by my partner?! Whichever, now almost all the
cars are here for sale.
The collection started with a Triumph Vitesse, and it
will be a Vitesse that I will finally keep, altho not
the same one. And yes, the first one is still in the
barn, three quarters restored and then taken apart
again due to a one time lack of space. Its all there,
just in bits, and of course for sale. (...and the
second, third and fourth...!!)
There is everything in here that you may want,
especially for the triumph Herald based cars
enthusiast, altho there are many other cars and parts.
I hope you enjoy looking at the cars, and better still
come and buy one! It would be great if they all found
new homes with someone to love them as they should be.
I am not asking vast amounts for them, and they are
all open to offers.
Please remember they have all been dry stored for at
least 15 years, so at very least brakes, clutches etc
will need looking at, all have various amounts of rust
as you would expect, but I think the majority would
come under the heading Practical Classics Condition
Three 'restorable'. All the engines so far checked
have revolved freely by hand.
I look forward to hearing from you, or better still
meeting you and seeing a car go to a new home!
All the best, Jon.
