Many people who enjoy the Little British Car (LBC) hobby may believe that their generation of loyal advocates is shrinking every year. I hope to change this reality.  I'm 31 and have been 'addicted' to the Triumph marque since my oldest brother taught me to shift gears in his TR4 on our farm when I was about eight. My father started the family 'collection' with a TR3A which all three sons wanted to play with. After driving it into a ditch it was time to “get your own Triumph!” Since then my older brothers have owned many Triumph models over the years including one mysterious "TRIUMPH" that they found in the woods in Tennessee . Not knowing what model it was they bought it anyway and eventually dumped the project on me when I was about fourteen. That car ended up being a 1965 Spitfire Mark II. By the time I was in college I had four cars including one daily driver. After college I spent a few years traveling as a photographer but then came back to automobiles. Since then I've restored two Triumph Spitfires, a TR7 FHC and provided partial restoration and repairs on many other projects. I'm currently working full time on these Triumphs offering specialized hardware, tools, parts and services.

My current project is a 1970 GT6+ which I have named the "GT6+ Plus". This modified vehicle will have its engine moved back five inches for more balanced weight distribution resulting in better handling. It will also include a custom programmable fuel injection system along with a Toyota 5 speed transmission and an air conditioning system.
