[883 GOH - Triumph TR4 - 1962 - Green - Rallied car.]

Here we go Pete. 

Gerald might appreciate this.

883GOH was prepared and rallied very successfully some twenty years ago by Len Olds, a Cornish TR owner since 1976.

The copyright of this shot remains with the photographer. It shows Len and Helen Olds on the Regis Rally 13th October 2001

 

I took this shot of Len and Andy Ballantyne in action on the Powderham Historic Rally of Devon 9th March 2002

The car was subsequently sold to another long-standing Cornish TR campaigner, Roger Bricknell from Bodmin.

Enjoy

It seemed more appropriate to post my response in your Cars Reunited thread.

Here are some pictures of your TR3 as it was in 1973.

The first TR Register “Big Event” was organised to celebrate the twenty first anniversary of the Triumph 20TS prototype being displayed at the London Motor Show at Earl’s Court in 1952.

I took the pictures at the refuelling stop in Exeter on the very wet morning of 13th October 1973. This took place at Mumfords Garage (formerly Motor Macs) near the Paris Street roundabout in Western Way (the Inner Ring Road). The location is now the site of the Vue cinema (EX1 2DD)

The cars featured are as follows:

TR3A 690CTT – Viv Caust

TR3A 637JHU – Julian Stephens

TR3A 432JAF - Rodney Castle

TR3 UOV713 – John Cole

TR2 JHJ596 – Pete Grenyer

TR3A YDK688 – Not known.

I am aware that the first five of these TRs still exist and are in safe hands. I have no knowledge of YDK688.

Enjoy the nostalgia.

Hello Graham

If you think your Michelins are over ten years old, do you think they were on the car forty six yeras ago?

Just to add to your confusion I remember being shown RTT417 under a pile of tyres in a garage near Newton Abbot in the mid-70s.

That TR found its way to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu and I believe it's still there. 

Maybe contact with the Museum could reveal something.

Good luck
