McMuttley Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Anyone ever seen a photo of a 3A in period with this set up of auxiliary lights, or artistic license ? http://ss.e-know.net/images/cover2.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrianC Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 One of our Lea Valley Group cars belonging to Paul Richardson - close but no roof or roof-lamp: http://www.groups.tr-register.co.uk/lea-valley/images/Magdas_Photos/IMG_6323a.jpg [Photo © Magda Malkowiak] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMuttley Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 But does have the 3 front lamps - havent seen that before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TorontoTim Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 This may be telling you stuff you already know, but I think this is a painting of a TR3A on the Monte Carlo Challenge; a historic rally, rather than a painting of a rally car in the '50's. Whether there is additional artistic licence, I don't know, but thought it worth mentioning that even without that, this would be much more recent. (Of course, that doesn't mean that it was NOT used in period...). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 more lights to block the flow.. me think.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMuttley Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I gorgeous Sunny, but note the 3A in the background, never seen them our wide before ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TorontoTim Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 There is a photo of a TR2 with three lamps on page 44 of "The Works Triumphs". It looks as though it's not, actually, a works car, but worth noting anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TorontoTim Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Also see pages 90, 91 and 92 for the wide spacing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
