For classic British car owners nothing adds to the ownership experience more than being involved with a club of like-minded people. That's why SABCC came into being here on the Gulf Coast.
Marque-specific clubs tend to be found in larger metropolitan areas where the number of owners there can support a local club. For places like ours, membership in SABCC and a national marque-specific register or owners club is the way to go.
For you lucky folks with Triumphs, you should check out the Vintage Triumph Register or VTR-The Triumph Owners Club. Quoting from their Web site:
As late as 1970, despite a long and prestigious history of automobile production dating to 1923, and a corporate history reaching back to the 1880’s, there was no American organization dedicated to the history, preservation, and enjoyment of Triumph automobiles. Aware that a large percentage of Triumphs built since World War II had been sold in the USA and Canada, a dedicated group of Triumph owners, enthusiasts, and historians in 1973 planted the early seeds of what would become the Vintage Triumph Register. In 1974 the organization began to take shape, and by January, 1975, the club’s first professionally edited and printed magazine appeared. At last there was a club for all Triumph owners; and growth of the club since has been steady, with more than 2,600 members!
The club has model experts that provide buying guides for all Triumph models found in the USA. For that, the cost of membership is worth it to prevent you from buying a car that will break your heart.
