Graham Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Any previous owners still members or anybody know any previous history of the car ? Mike Ellis Tells me the car was owned by a register member up to circa 1985 then it appears to have gone 'off grid' resurfacing and re joining the fold when the LHC purchased him a couple of months ago.

Julian Stephens Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Graham Here are some pictures of your TR3 as it was in 1973. The first TR Register “Big Event” was organised to celebrate the twenty first anniversary of the Triumph 20TS prototype being displayed at the London Motor Show at Earl’s Court in 1952. I took the pictures at the refuelling stop in Exeter on the very wet morning of 13th October 1973. This took place at Mumfords Garage (formerly Motor Macs) near the Paris Street roundabout in Western Way (the Inner Ring Road). The location is now the site of the Vue cinema (EX1 2DD) The cars featured are as follows: TR3A 690CTT – Viv Caust TR3A 637JHU – Julian Stephens TR3A 432JAF - Rodney Castle TR3 UOV713 – John Cole TR2 JHJ596 – Pete Grenyer TR3A YDK688 – Not known. I am aware that the first five of these TRs still exist and are in safe hands. I have no knowledge of YDK688. Enjoy the nostalgia. Julian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
