Ernest Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi all Whilst clearing out some draws yesterday I came across a couple of bits related to a TR5 I owned (1989-1993) The bits include bills of sale (Geoff Mansfield of Northern TR), a long letter from a previous owner detailing work done on the car plus a picture of the car racing at Oulton Park When I bought the car from Geoff the reg number was TR 125 but, due to my not being into quaint number plates l sold it to a farmer down in Hampshire - he put it on a late TR6. I then put an age-related (G reg) number plate on the car but can't remember what it was The car's commission number was/is CP3012 The engine number was/is 2238 E The car was conifer green, surrey top, wire wheels and o/d If the current owner wants to contact me via this forum would be happy to forward these bits- I am not sure if I should give out e.mail address/phone numbers on this site so hopefully someone will clarify? I would have thought phone number would be OK? Ernest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Ernest, you better not put any private info on this forum like email adrss, phone number, home adres. Use the PM system for that. Regards, Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi Ernest, don;t give any personal details on the forum. Any contact can be via PM. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ernest Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Thanks for cautionary advice Waldi and Roger Ernest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ernest Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi all Just a note to have one more go at contacting the current owner re. the TR 'bit' I have found recently - see top posting on this thread. If I don't get a positive repose to this message the material will no doubt be dumped at some point. This would be shame as the material does provide some interesting history on the 5 whose numbers are noted. So, if any of you out there know someone with a conifer green 5 with surrey top etc. then please bring the posting to their attention. Best Wishes Ernest Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best Wishes Ernest Hi Ernest - why not contact Roger Ferris, TR5 Registrar, and maybe send it to him, details in TR Action, and he could either keep it, or find out who the current owner may be and forward it on?

dingle Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 You might try the International Triumph Registry. I can't get the search function of their site to work. Since you have the commission number, it should be easy to contact the owner, if is registered. Berry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ernest Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hi Ian I was unsure if Roger would be prepared to store information related to individual cars - other than basics of ownership history but, as you note, worth contacting him to see.

JohnR Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hi Ernest i am the current owner of the vehicle and would be interested in the items if you still have them. Regards john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ernest Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hi John Good to hear from you. I do still have the bits I think we need to make contact off this site but I am note sure how we can exchange contact details as I have been advised (see above) not to post phone number, address, or e.mail details on this forum I live in south London (Hayes in Bromley) whereabouts are you?
