Andrew Smith Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) TRIUMPH SURVIVORS DISPLAY TR REGISTER INTERNATIONAL, LINCOLN 15 - 17 JULY 2016 A Display of Original Unrestored Triumphs and Derivatives Following the very successful Triumph Survivor Display at Malvern in 2015 which saw the largest collection of original unrestored Triumphs and derivatives ever gathered in one place (see http://www.tr-register.co.uk/article/2015/08/0024/Results-of-the-Inaugural-Penrite-Survivors-Cup ), the TR Register, in partnership with Penrite, is pleased to announce the return of Triumph Survivor Display at the International Weekend at Lincoln. The aim is to be even bigger and more successful than Malvern. Watch any of the current classic car TV programmes or read a classic car magazine and they constantly refer to the term ‘Survivor’ and that original unrestrored cars are becoming very rare and should be preserved where possible, rather than restored. So what is a Triumph ‘survivor’? A survivor is a car which is substantially original and unrestored from when it left the factory (e.g. original panels, paint, interior, engine etc) and the display will give members and the public an opportunity to see close up Triumphs and derivatives that have survived the ravages of time and have avoided restoration, some for over 50 years! More information can be found on the club’s website at this Link. Why is a Triumph ‘survivor’ so special? Every original unrestored Triumph has a story to tell. An original unrestored car is a snapshot in time and offers a unique perspective and insight to how our cars were put together in the factory – warts and all. Original unrestored cars are immensely beneficial to those currently undertaking a restoration project, as Triumph Survivors are the most accurate cars from which historical and technical reference can be gained. So, if you own a Triumph or a Derivative ‘Survivor’ and would like to be part of the Triumph Survivor display at Lincoln then please contact me for a Car Information Sheet: email TriumphSurvivor@gmail.com Regards Andrew TRR Triumph Survivor Coordinator Edited April 8, 2016 by Andrew Smith Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alec Pringle Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Good to hear from Andrew that the Survivors line up will include any Triumph and Standard cars, and not just TRs and derivatives . . . . . . With all the clubs present on the Sunday, that should make for a more interesting display than the TR concours ! Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elclem1 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I have a question. About survivors, how does one, if required, prove that the car has original panels, parts and paint etc do you need a service history etc? I have a tr7 that has loads of provenance but at an early stage in its life had a front end bash, it was repaired with original parts and Paint I have all of the bills to prove this would this qualify as a survivor.?

I believe I answered this question by email on 27 March, unless there are two TR7s with a front end repair and a respray. If not, please email me on triumphsurvivor@gmail.com Niall, Yep, bronzed!
