mike ellis Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Last weekend saw the first outing of the newly restored PKV 376 in the classic racing car parade at the Ennstal Classic. Driven by Rauno Aaltonen the owner is in the passenger seat. Let's hope we can see the car in the UK in the not too distant future. Link here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Vincent Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 It looks as if it may have been fitted with R&P steering because the control head is going round with the steering wheel. Why else would you not reinstate the stator tube? Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR3BGeorge Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 GREAT RIDE!!!! My urbane eye quickly discerned that the locale was not West Texas. Great-looking event! And beautiful restoration of the TR2! Have a great summer, all. GAB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ronin Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 May I ask where you got the racing screens and the mirror (or mirror cover)? Very beautiful car. Great to see it in action again. Thanks, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Nice to see. Is the horn push with the shield badge genuine for the car.... I have a NOS horn push assembly with such a badge in my garage - Never did figure out where it came from - If it is correct for such a rare car as a factory competition TR, does any one out there want to buy it to complete their restoration/fake? - Any ideas Alec?

Alec Pringle Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hi Peter, I'm not sure if it's original or not - I suspect is is probably pukka. There are not many contemporary shots of the interiors of the works cars - but I have in the past noted that at least a couple of works cars, and a Motor Show car, have a badge of some description in place of the normal plain horn push. The photos were not sufficiently large to show clear enough detail to be certain, but my impression was that it was a shield badge. Bill P, John S or John A might know for definite ? Cheers, Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pfenlon Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) I hope to see another TR2 in BRG with a yellow rad surround next year at CLM, driven by a French forumite with a special Le Mans badge, which was once my car, I cant wait.
