It’s said that one man’s misfortune is another man’s opportunity. No more certain example exists than the case of our latest project vehicle, a 2001 Triumph Bonneville.

When our man Stu decided it was time to buy another project, we all sat quietly waiting to see what he would land on. His previous two project cars were BMW E30s. When a 1995 Volvo 850 T-5R came up for $2500, it deserved at least a look.

Sometimes a man goes looking for a project, and sometime the project seeks out the man. Whether this 2001 Land Rover Discovery is a screaming deal or just another money pit for our managing editor has yet to be determined.
