Hi

Received an email from Tom Purves tonight. See below for a copy.

Well worth a vote I think.

Evening All

Glen Hewetts remarkable restoration of the Jabbeke TR2 that set the two litre speed record and set Triumph en route to successful results world wide has been shortlisted for the prize of Octane magazine as car of the year. Please vote to make this car ,a truly British icon ,winner. It may not have the value of the Aston or the style of The Bullit Mustang but it was the origin of great value for customers ,wages for many workers in Coventry and dividends for mainly British shareholders .Remember Mulliners in Birmingham and The Standard Triumph Coventry production line were building 99 TRs a day most of which were destined for the USA . The Jabbeke Car was instrumental in the build up to this ....a level of success never paralleled by Newport Parnell. If you would like to encourage your friends to vote for the Triumph that would be great. Thank you for supporting a brilliant rebuild of a brilliant Important car.

Best Regards Tom
