Yup, most times cheap to fix. No spending thousands on air bags to update (they have a shelf life). No spending thousand + on ECU's, many thousands on hybrids batteries every 5 to 7 years, no $600 head gaskets, no $10,000 to replace transmissions. We've got it easy.

absolutly stephen learned a lot about cars owning Triumphs but been well worth it and cheap without a doubt
add the satisfaction of fixing a problem yourself and if carling made cheap fun classic cars then this would be it lol
