My family owned both a Rapier with Twin Carbs and a Triumph 2000. The 2000 is fine as long as you replace the fuel hoses. The rapier engine wise is just fine.
With all three cars the engine is not the issue to their continued operation, it’s keeping the bodywork right. It’s another reason why for real longevity and usability the Stratos appeals. Try and find a competent welder to do automotive welding…I have burnt through many panels.
As this is a Stratos forum I just had this thought. In 600 years time will people visit a city in Italy to see Gandini’s Stratos as we go to Florence to see Michelangelo’s David now.
