Having delved in to my archive, I have now reunited Robin with two of my images of his TR taken almost half a century apart!
This shows Robin on his way to winning the Autotest at the Donington TR Day in September 1974. The test took place on the old Melbourne Loop.

If you own this TR please contact me as I have been contacted by someone who owned the car from 1968 for many years.
I have been provided with a selection of images from that period.
At the time the car carried its original Clackmannanshire registration number of SL6956.

Hello Alex and Robin.
If you are still following this topic you will be pleased to learn that 1975 HP is alive and well.
I took this image on 8th October 2023 just North East of Wadebridge on the A39 Atlantic Highway. The event was the Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run.

Hello Gary and David
I had a quick search in my archive and see that I had taken images of both your 5s but sadly not together. The shots may be of some interest to you. Those of BUP were taken at the 2006 Malvern International noy long after Sean Tindle had acquired the car and just before he started his major rebuild on it. The first two shots of UPB were taken at the 2012 Donington Historic meeting with the third taken at the 2013 Malvern International.
Enjoy

I assume Tony owned the TR at that time.
It was not a race, it was the TR Register sprint meeting at Goodwood.
I have record of seeing YWK 50 in St. Austell on 22nd April 1973. I believe this was in the car park at Truro & District Motor Club's Hillclimb meeting at Tregrehan.

Hello again Rob
If you PM me with an email address, I will send you a selection of my Goodwood images.
You asked for shots of the Julian Furniss wide-bodied TR and here they are:
Leaving the start line.
Approaching Fordwater on 10th May 1981.
This one might be of interest to Hamish:
The start line in 1976.
TR3A 152ANP driven by John Davies. TR4A DTJ104E still taxed and MOT'd. YWK50 driven by Tony Thompson. TR5 TYR731F no record after 1984.

Hello Rob
I took this shot of the Futcher 6 as it approached Fordwater at full chat. I am unsure of the year (thought to be 1981), but I'm sure someone will have kept a record of the numbers.

Hello Pete
According to the Revs Institute Digital Library the picture shows that your TR2 was entered in the BARC National Race at Goodwood on 14th April 1956.

I was saddened to learn that my great friend Chris had passed away today.
Greater detail will appear in a future edition of TRaction, but in the meantime here are a few memories of the man himself with that shiny red TR2, LMW140.
Leaving the start line at a Register Goodwood Sprint meeting.
Powering through St. Mary's at Goodwood.
With me at the end of the 1977 Jubilee End to End Run.
Our thoughts are with Carol and the boys.

This image appeared recently on the French website forum-auto.caradisiac.
No detail of where, when or why is given.
DVLA currently show the TR as being taxed, but it is now green.

Hello
I don’t think that is quite it for Coventry registrations lest we forget RW, as in TRW735 et al. Was this used on Personal Export cars?
This uncropped 1968 Flickr image shows the Spitfire parked in front of the TR250 and it carries a registration number that appears to be NRW111F.
It is thought that the spire rising from the roof of London Transport RT (Number 12 to Dulwich) is All Saints at 2 Langham Place, close to Broadcasting House.
Also on the same Flickr site is this 1972 image of the British Leyland Tax-Free Showroom at 41-46 Piccadilly. Looking through the back of the showroom we see a Marina and a black cab which are in Sackville Street, not too distant from Regent Street.
As the inclusion of these images is not for any commercial gain, I hope the photographer, with whom copyright remains, will be pleased that we are displaying them on our forum.

Hello Mike
As the 4A was fairly new when you acquired it, do you have any recollection as to its early history?
PRL was a Cornish registration, but the "G" suffix would ordinarily have appeared on late 5s and early 6s.

Mark, your TR carried that registration number when it was for sale in Fowey in July 1993.
PM me your email address and I will send you what else I have on the car.

Hello Ian
To help restore your loss of memory, the missing digits are 656A.
I took this shot on the 4th December 1993 at the Portreath stage of the first Le Jog.
Evan was crewed by John Kiff and the start marshal was Pete Hancock.

Hello Eli
I took this shot at Mawgan Porth near Newquay in Cornwall in October 1978. It shows my TR5 and Andy Hopkinson's TR3A. The TR3 was parked outside a shop. After waiting a while the owner did not reappear so we drove off. I never found out who the car belonged to.
From the cropped version it is difficult to work out where the rear mountings would have been attached but it doesn't look to be on to the overrider brackets.
Happy surfing, one day.
Cheers

Hello Nick
This is what 880AYA looked like in the late 1960s - early 1970s.
The picture comes from Brian Hancock's collection. Brian told me that at the time the car was owned by a doctor from the Truro area. It had a colourful life while in Cornwall, resulting in a number of significant repairs being required!

Seeing Pete's post on Thursday, brought back more memories from Donington.
Keep it in the family Pete.

Hello again Pete
More of the recent competition history of 883GOH is coming to light.
If you PM me with your email address, I will forward what else I have discovered.
This is a Peter Baker image from the January 2015 issue of Motor Sport magazine and shows Ryan Pickering and Andy Ballantyne on their way to victory in the 2014 Rally of the Tests.
Cheers

Before taking 883GOH rallying, Len gave the TR a bit of a shakedown at the Portreath Drag Meeting in June 2000.
Here we see Len and Rodders going head to head in blinding sunlight.
