Very sad, it could happen to all of us. Imagine….

I think I have done everything to reduce the possibility of a fire…. Nevertheless this triggers me to install a good fire extinguisher in my TR6.

That’s very sad and I bet quite scary 

I doubt that even if it had had an mot it would have picked any warning signs as fuel lines not a check I don’t think. I’m guessing it’s fuel line related. 
 

I know of a TR3a fire and the owner said that their extinguisher (hand held version  in the car for competition reasons) hardly touched it. Now has a full plumbed in system.

I recently had the Weber air filters catch fire on my GT6. No worries thought I, I'll just whip out the hand held fire extinguisher I had previously nicked from one of my other Triumphs and put it out. What I didn't know, or notice was that a PO had drilled the safety pin, and put a split pin in it.
