[Your TR in black and White]

Hi

my TR3

Phil

[TR2 1955 Pearl White]

Interior is red as original, the car is pictured in one of Bill Piggots book “Triumph TR”, shown on the Introduction page “XPJ 6”

Our body guru Stuart has pointed out that the inner wing cut outs for the sidelights are missing, this will be corrected, many thanks Stuart, and for the photograph.

Les must have been rebuilding his garage!

I’ve just learn’t from the Shropshire Group that sadly Les didn’t win his fight against the big “C”, I’d  like to think he would have approved.

Thanks Stuart, yes it’s a nice colour, just have to finish it now!

Hi 

In answer to my question regarding TR2 Pearl White here are a couple photos of the painted shell, in Pearl White.

As Stuart pointed out the colour has that beige tint, however under natural daylight is more White - if that makes sense.

The car was purchased as a project from a TR member Les Woodall, Les was unwell at the time and couldn’t see the possibility of completing it.

Regards

Phil

[Low Port or High Port Head]

Thanks all for the input, I have had lengthy chats with Tom and James at TRE , it’s been a learning curve and I wanted as many opinions as possible. At some point I will need to make a decision

Phil

[Low Port or High Port Head]

 

Im looking at the engine rebuild on my TR2.

My car doesn’t have the original engine but a replacement engine near to the original engine number. The car would have had a low Port Head however I do have a High Port Head which hopefully is serviceable, waiting to hear what the refurb cost if possible will be. The low Port will also need some work.

Question is how much better is the High Port head? I’m think of a piper yellow cam which I’m told should improve the torque.

No paint available I bought the car as a project in primer.

I think we shall have to do a few samples first

Stuart

Thanks,  thought it was more off white than bright white

[TR2 1955 Pearl White]

Hi

Getting to the point of confirming the paint colour for my TR2 restoration.

XPJ 6 is a RHD TR2, build date 2 July 1955, colour as Heritage Certificate is Pearl White

Looking at the Triumph Paint codes Pearl White is code 14, should it be an off white, not bright white?

Are there any other paint codes for this colour?

Enjoyed the weekend, nice relaxed and informal, sorry we couldn’t do the Sunday run! 

Anyway we called in at Tr Bitz on the way home and enjoyed a chat and look round at their “open day”

[CF TR6]

Thanks Neil

I've tried several places for the chrome /part black bezels, seems like paint them yourself is the answer. I’ll give it a go on the old bezels, “practice makes perfect “

Phil

[CF TR6]

Thanks Stuart for the reply, I thought that was the case, any idea where I can get replacements from ? as some need new bezels.

regards

Phil

[CF TR6]

Stuart 

thanks, I probably didn’t make it clear, yes they are chrome but isn’t there a Matt black finish to the inner part of the bezel?

There’s  a guy selling a late Tr6 in the ‘TRR Classifieds’ the bezels on that one do appear to have a. Black inner finish to them. 

Phil

[CF TR6]

Hi

 

I’m starting to put together the dash on my TR6, it’s a US CF Oct 1974 model which came without the dash instruments, Just a question do the chrome bezels have a Matt black finish, I've just been to take a set into Speedograph for refurbishment and he says they should just have chrome finish no black.

[Italia for Sale on Car & Classic]

Would appear that they do come up for Sale, this one is in Germany, looks like originally and Italian car, but at £73K would seem a fair price if original and correct.

NTDWM just spotted it

I'm not sure Mick is "Red 6" anymore I think its the guy who put his Project up for sale earlier.

[Rear Leaf springs]

I've just spoken with Owen Springs regarding an overhaul of my leaf springs, to take apart, re temper, check refinish and put back together approx £80 per leaf spring + vat.

Not much different to the new purchase price

[TR6 Rear coil spring]

Hi

 

I've obtained what look like a new pair of rear coil springs with my TR6, but I don't know the rating, (the sticker has been peeled/ripped off) they are blue with two yellow and one green markings.

The free length is approx 10 1/4"

 

I think they are 420lb uprated but not 100% certain, can anyone shed any light on them.

 

Regards

Phil
