Would you restore this one just for the color combo? It would never make economic sense, but I hope someone takes it on.

I hate to suggest the answer is written on the windshield

Let it rust in peace

In honesty, my '70 isn't any better, but it is a documented Oshawa car.
And I didn't pay as much as the starting price on this one.

Windshield writing should say "DO NOT TOUCH UNLESS YOU'VE HAD A TETANUS SHOT".

What it could look like.

----I see one Triumph in the bike lineup. Can't tell what model or year though, Charley. I'm a Triumph slappy, but don't have one anymore. Rode Bonnevilles and TT Specials thru college, and had one very sweet triple once I moved to Florida.....Bill S

I had a '68 Bonne for 2 years in the early 70's. Nice bike and a joy to corner hard with, but after the crappy Lucas electric kept burning up points and batteries, it went away.

Since you have that snazzy Triumph, you probably don't want that old, outdated, Ariel square 4 anymore. I can run down with a trailer and get that out of your way anytime...

----Just saw the Square 4. Always loved the look of them! Another, of course would be the Brough Superior SS100, like the one that Lawrence of Arabia rode! Beautiful bikes, Charley!....Bill S
