Glynn Hobbs Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Very nice Edwin.................you'll be pleased to know that bugs, dust and dirt are still not allowed anywhere near the TR3a! I am guessing that Raymond's Morgan is also now looking better than new!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, the advantage of retirement............I added 1000 kms to the car this year, but probably spent a month of my life cleaning it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 hmmzz my tr2 may have won concours, but month cleaning... ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) I remember seeing Raymond busy with the car in my garage. I remember that I wanted to see Raymond working with a toothbrush on the inside of the tail pipe (figure of speech). Guess what: he had driven the car for 200kms to my house. All he did was rinsing the car with fresh water and wiping it dry. Two days later, he won the Concours Edited February 19, 2017 by Menno van Rij 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fireman049 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Hi Iain ~ I bought the wheels from Frontline Developments. Contact Ed Braclik on 01235 832632 ed@frontlinedevelopments.com You could also Goggle Dunlop Alloy Wheels and take your pick. Tom.

Contact Ed Braclik on 01235 832632 ed@frontlinedevelopments.com You could also Goggle Dunlop Alloy Wheels and take your pick. Tom. Did ask them for those wheels, but they replied that its not possible to fit them with the original drumbrakes in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi Edwin ~ I can't understand that. My 3A obviously has drum brakes on the rear and I had no difficulty fitting the wheels. Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi Edwin ~ I've just spoken to Ed Braclik and he has no recollection of your enquiry. As he confirms, the Dunlop Alloy Wheels will fit a drum braked TR. Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) hm i have a reply of Ed talking about clearance of the front wheels which could be a problem. but i see my enquiry was in 2012, so perhaps things have changed Edited February 20, 2017 by EdwinTiben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
