Alec Pringle Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I've recently received several emails asking about repair times, as in how long should it take to do a particular job etc. How long is a piece of string, but as ever some classic specialists are prone to double even a long piece of string. No names, no pack drill, but some TR specialists seem to me to be a darn sight more competent and efficient than others, to put it kindly. Or to put it another way, the greedy and inefficient are not yet extinct. Take your pick. The sheer creativeness of some classic specialists is matched only by the sheer gullibility of some classic owners. Here are snapshots of the 1976 ICME manual Triumph pages, which provides at least some sort of a guide to expectations back in the day. The less efficient TR fixers might well insist that these times bear no relevance 40 years on. They may very well think so. My response would be that the average TR today is in a damn sight better condition than the average TR of the mid-70s . . . . . at least as I remember them.
