I joined this group a couple of years ago as I was trying to find out about fitting T/TF seats into my 1963 Triumph Vitesse 6 convertible. I'd bought them off eBay but never did fit them.

I made the decision to get rid of the Vitesse a couple of weeks ago as I just didn't have the time or inclination to do what needed to be done. I'd read quite a bit about the T/TF so decided that one of those would be an ideal replacement. One of my son-in-laws sent me a link to an advert on Wightbay (the Isle of Wight's version of eBay) last week and we went to see the 2002 TF 135 on Saturday. He drove it, he's had three TFs himself, as I wasn't insured to drive other cars, he thought it was great so I decided to buy it. We picked it up on Sunday but I still haven't driven it yet as I want to get the cam-belt changed first. It was last changed in 2009 at around 61500, it's now on 95000.

I'd be interested to hear of other peoples cam-belt stories as I've phoned a couple of garages and they don't want to do it. I'm taking the car to the garage I've been to for 40+ years so that we can discuss the job next week. He's very busy and won't be able to do it until early September.

Cheers.
