Red Arrows' Ascent

Jonathan, Welcome. We are so happy to have you to carry on the Triumph dreams.Great cars to start with and sounds like you are digging in. Hope you got a manual and be sure to get one of the catalogs from one of Vendors on here. It will break down the parts of most anything on the car.A Manual is essential and we are here to help.Wayne

Thank you, Wayne! I'm super excited to see where this car takes me. Where can I find a good deal for a service manual for these? I'm also not familiar with "Vendors" here, so any guidance there would be hugely appreciated.

Congrats! Can't tell what vintage she is. I had a 1980 and at 6' 3" with a 36" inseam never had any issue with the stock seating arrangement. Used to surprise more than a few folks when I would smoothly exit and stand up. Great legroom. Fit better in that than a TR6. Drove a few friends MG Midgets, but always had to have the top down because there was NO headroom and had to lean down to see through the windscreen or over it with the top down. Spit was actually very accommodating to tall folks.

Thanks and agreed, Scott! Red Arrows seems to be a mix of the 1969 and 1970 MK3 models (the car has lost much of its originality). I'm very much pleased with the room this offers for me, and sitting in her feels like everything fits me perfectly like a glove, and thus very comfortable to drive in. I, too, avoided getting an MG Midget for that reason. I'm excited to give her a whirl when I receive my license, and will carry on the positive reception of these beauties!
