Upriis Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 It will be a keeper just enjoying it at present I’m attending my local TRR Glavon runs and tours to build up a little experience and knowledge and within the next couple of years get into some rallies and events. (fingers crossed) Never tried any form of motorsport yet, so eager to learn. long term triumph owner though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony_C Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Well done Neil, I’ve known this car from the very early 1990’s…….. I used to rally with the other Neil at the time and your car was developed as the testing/ proving of all his innovations/ improvements…… You’ve got a good un Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In 2006 when I bought my TR3a from the States I discovered it had a door from an older car on the RHS. (It had square corners and a wooden top frame). I swapped it with Neil for a pale blue one with a dent in it. At the time he told me I was getting a door from a rally winner. so I suspect my driver’s door started life on this car.

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Yes I remember this car. Neil threw me up the road in it to the pub for lunch one wet winter’s day. On Colway remould tyres as I recall. Edited September 18, 2021 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianc Posted September 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Anyone who has been passenger alongside Noel Revlingbone driving one of his own cars will have had a memorable experience! Funnily enough, when he has driven my car, he has always driven quite circumspectly - not sure why. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
