Blueprinted Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Evening all, looking to trace my dads TR6 LFB700K and also the TR5 CRO 914F that was raced by both my father and uncle in the late 80's and early 90's. Would be nice to know where they are now, cheers Chris Pumford. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oddball Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Chris I'm the present owner of LFB 700K and have been for the last 17 years, happy to tell you all I know of the cars history, have its full history pre and post your fathers ownership. Don't tell any of the family but the car has been running on triple webers for the last 20 years, doesn't seem right with your family background. First picture is a few years ago while crossing the Pyrenees during a 2500 mile trip through Spain and France. The second was taken at Harrogate last year after I returned the car to its original damson. Regards Cameron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blueprinted Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hi Cameron thanks for getting in touch, its great to know that dads old car is still going strong ! Any information would be great, cheers Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fergus Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi, I owned LFB 700 K from about 1990 to 1998. It was EKB 67K when I bought it, but I put it back on the original registration. the car was switched onto triple Webers when it moved with me to America in 1994. There was no leaded petrol in America at the time, and I thought that the summer heat in North Carolina would have been too much for the Lucas fuel pump. I drove the car to work every day in North Carolina, much to the amusement of my colleagues. And each year I made a fabulous journey through the West Virginia mountains to Niagara Falls, when I would take the car to Canada for a short vacation. Petrol was then less than a dollar a gallon! The car returned to the UK in 1998, to be sold, and I stayed in America. I provided a lot of papers with it, including the full owner history that I had obtained from what was then the DVLC. It's really nice to see the car in the pictures here. Thank you for posting them Cameron, I enjoyed them enormously! It's also very nice to see the car in Damson; I remember the serial number showed that as the original color, and it was visible in places under the dashboard. I think I may have a picture of Mike Pumford racing the car, possibly also pictures of it in America. I'll see if I can find them. Fergus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craigpumford Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Hi, I’m Craig Pumford (the brother of Chris here). The car belonged to our father Mike pumford who sadly passed away on 15/07/2016 After only just seeing the latest replies here I would very much like to know any more information on the car as I assume it is now in Oswestry? The TRs overall are very our fathers legacy. regards craig pumford Edited December 31, 2022 by Craigpumford Spelling mistake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
