It was suggested that I post photos of my Triumph in here, so here it is...
I bought my Triumph the way it is and haven't done anything else to it yet! As far as I can tell, from receipts etc, the conversion was originally completed in about 1991, so it's had the V8 in it for more of its life than it had the original six! There's some basic specs below the photos...
