Michelotti TR
Maintenance and Modification
First of all, I would like to make clear to anyone coming to this site that it is in no way meant to replace the excellent information available at the Vintage Triumph Registry's website! Instead, it is only meant to be a supplement for Michelotti TR owners. As always, I welcome contributions to this page, and will gladly give credit to whomever does contribute. All information on this site is provided for entertainment/discussion purposes only. If you decide to follow the advice of anything inside this website, you do so at your own risk.
