Z320 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hi Paul and Roger, thanks for this information, by google photos Wadebridge wheels has also modern cars, Kernow seems to be more the thing we are looking for.

Alec Pringle Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hello Marco, if you're travelling to Cornwall you may well be using the A303 road . . . . ? In which case if I'm still walking this world and the throat cancer hasn't killed me, then we might meet for a beer or a lunch ? The town is Mere, post code BA12 6HE.

Z320 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Hi, the show of the Kenrow old vehicle club was not that big but absolutely suitable for us to spend there a few hours. I woundered obout the number if stationay engines, how they work and about the fact they have an ignition every 10 revs. A TR 2, 3, 4, 6 was there, two of them with trailer coupling!! Until know I have never seen that, but I know my TR4A slso had one when he came back from the USA. Ciao Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 The TR2 with a towbar would have been our group leaders car as he used to tow a trailer tent Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
