Triumph Sports Cars is a family run business, specialising in the repair and restoration of Triumph Sportscars for over 25 years. I have been in the working automotive industry for over 45 years as a tradesman panel beater and tradesman spray painter. My first exposure to English sports cars was as a child with a neighbour's MG TC. I've been a Triumph enthusiast for about 25 years since deciding that I wanted my own British sports car. Looking for something a little different to the norm, I sought out a Spitfire, eventually finding a 1963 MKI Spitfire being used as a paddock bomb which was later discovered to be one of the oldest Spitfires in Australia. After restoration it won three Victorian and one national concours meets.
I regularly race a TR7 (Choc Wedge) at historic events and local club events including track events at Phillip Island, Sandown, Calder, Winton, Mallala, and Wakefield Park; hill climbs at Rob Roy, Tarrengower, Haunted Hills and Collingrove; and sprints at Eddington and Heathcote Park. I also frequently attend touring events and national rallys, driving a 1977 Spitfire 1500. Prior to the 1500, I drove a Spitfire MKIII for many years. The MKIII is still my all time favourite Spitfire.
