Has anyone else noticed that the registration plate TR4 , attached to a tidy looking TR4, is coming up for auction on April 2nd at Brightwells, Leominster? It is lot 48 and full details are on their website.....estimate , including plate, is £40000-45000, plus premium. It has evidently been in the vendor's possession for 45 years, so a rare opportunity. They state that the plate is fully transferable, which I'd guess is probably what will happen to it. A shame if that happens. Very sorry to hear about my old friend Jon Marshall.....he and I were both club Registrars together for many ye

Hi Bill SHP520 has been entered for this years 2025 Mille Miglia and I wanted to understand its history a bit better.
On this site it sated it participated in these events below .. I can find all the MM info but can’t track down anything else regarding the Alpine Rally and Rome Liege Rome..
Year Event Driver Result:
1956 Alpine Rally Anny Bousquet
1957 Mille Miglia Nancy Mitchell
1957 Liege-Rome-Liege Leidgers/Duboisplus there’s a picture of ken Richardson with SHP ?
“Shot might have been prior to the 1956 Alpine Rally, as Paddy drove SRW991, and Ken drove SHP520. Their navigators in the Alpine were Willy Cave and (Kit?) Heathcote”
SHP is looked after by Paul Woolmer enginering nr Bedford who just unwired a lot of recent birds nest wiring making it a lot more original works spec.. Other than that its been used all the time..
The car like all TR3’s is amazing and is so well suited to the Mille where it enthusiastically competes punching well above its weight..
Kind regards.
Jon

Hello Jon, All that is known, as far as I am aware, is encapsulated in Graham Robson's book "The Works Triumphs"--I presume you have read these? The bigger, 2nd edition has more information usually. Graham's research was very thorough and of course, he ran the Comps Dept in later days and knew everyone, Bill
