Oops! Forgot that one. Sorry Mark

Hi Roger, I know we have 3a,4a,Tr8 But just felt that as the 5 was pivotal in developing the straight 6 engine and being the first production road car with petrol injection, not to mention this spawned the 96,000 TR6 which we all enjoy.It should have been represented. Not that I am biased or anything

Hi guys, hope everyone is keeping well. Is it just me me me (it so often is) or does it annoy anyone else that our beloved TR5 is not represented on the Register 50 year plaque!. Having received my copy magazine a couple of days ago with it’s TR shop insert, it still bugs me looking at the advert for the plaque. I can’t bring myself to buy one it miffs me so much. Anyone else bothered or as I say is it just me me me.

Takes you back to the old USSR, where the geriatrics in power had to be held upright they were so decrepit
I recall way back when spitting image did a Brezhnev skit when rumours he had died We’re denied by Moscow. He was shown at a board meeting with someone tipping ice cubes down his neck to keep him fresh.

I posted this on another post but I think it will be seen more on here, The film Viva Las Vegas (1964) with Elvis Presley, a TR3, A Daimler Dart, a Merc SL and a TR4 with hard top.
Hi Gordon, I didn't notice any of the cars first time round

Welcome to TR5 ownership. A great looking addition and no mistake. Well done

Hi Stuart. Agree with Mickey, your grandad looks a cool dude with smart car. Considering what hit it the staff car got off lightly

Well done Graham mystery solved. I wonder where it is now? Owner might have liked the picture for his garage wall.

Looks like an advertisement for ‘The Odd Couple’ on the front corner of the bus, ( if mine eyes don’t deceive me) and if that’s a first time around ad that would date it to around May/June 1968?
What date was the first UK ‘5’ launched and on the roads ( and of course the Mk3 Spitfire) ?
It looks pretty new.

Mine was on the forecourt March 68

Hi Guys,

Your car you can paint it whatever colour you like, though if your going for a colour change then its always better to do the whole thing inside and out rather than just blow round the outside.
Stuart.
With Stuart, do it properly if your going to do it. Any new buyer will be put off a little opening boot/bonnet to find it has not been totally covered.

When I took my test hand signals were compulsory, as it was mid winter and heaving it down with rain it wasnt much fun!

Hi Dan, just read your article in the latest TRAction, very good .

I never said it was a 4/4a ! my suggestion applies to any vehicle, and people may not consider carrying one is the reason I suggested it under this topic. It only has to break once. As it happens it was the key that broke on mine but this still made ignition unuseable. you also may be unfortunate enough to loose your key.

Hi Rob
Had trouble getting pump to work as well as ignition. its much easier to pull out the wires with connectors and push onto spare barrel. you don't even have to unscrew the original key barrel, just leave the new one on top of the tunnel until you get home or whatever. It never happens on last day of a trip either so having a spare negates trying to hot wire every time you get into car.
