Any reason why they chose Saloon rear light units, as opposed to TR6 ones ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quicksilver Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Tom, from what I know; this units have been used because they do not protrude around the corner, because 'the rear end sometimes wants to hit something during rally driving' ..... according to the previous owner........ it will be changed to the original TR6 units.....

kiwican Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I have a hard time deciding whether I prefer the looks of the TR6 with the hard top or without. I like both. Simon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EliTR6 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Trip to our local surf spot. About 20mi away. My wife met us there and relaxed with friends while a bunch of us got pummelled by waves. The drive home in the dark sans board was incredible. The 3 is a mean machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidBee Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Great to see your TR and your passenger too. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. The cylinder head can wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aldpilot Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 LVG we’re out at The Silverstone Classic yesterday. Thanks to TRR for the Tea & Biscuits. It was a bit windy at times, but only the odd shower, meant a good day overall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bfg Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) I was not in my TR but did visit Helmingham (Suffolk) Festival of Classic & Sports Cars, on Sunday afternoon. Spotted a number of TR's ..a couple of which left early and so I didn't get to see them or to meet the owners but here's a few piccies of those I did get to . . . ^ briefly met this very nice chap & owner, Colin I believe from Norfolk (Abbott & Stour group) ^ same car, keeping good company with a Stag otherwise I was strangely drawn to this, fantastically restored . . . ^ Triumph Herald powered I told ^ Amphicar. According to the owner it was in dire condition when he bought and then restored it. Although previously used in salt water, he prefers to use it on the Norfolk Broads. It's certainly a credit to his dedication and skills. There were a few other cars there too, including a few nice Heralds and Triumph saloons, and couple of beautiful post war Triumph Roadsters too. It's a very pleasant show, but perhaps a little too short with traffic queues, preventing many visitors from getting in before 11am, and then cars started to leave as early as 3pm. Mind you the exhibitor's queues to leave the show after 5pm were pretty dire in light drizzle too . . Cheers, Pete. Edited August 3, 2021 by Bfg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Forey Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Sailed over to Guernsey last week and spotted this very nice TR4A a few times in St Peter Port. Anybody we know? Edited August 3, 2021 by Mick Forey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidBee Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Thinking it over, must be modified, if TR4s only produced an extra 5bhp as standard, how do you explain the other 17.3 without telling fibs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
