Peter Cobbold Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 I went to two Internationals with tastefully applied stick-on-rust in all the right places. Everyone was far too polite to comment. https://www.dominicwilcox.com/stickers.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ed_h Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Decades ago at a car show, there was a booth for a business where you could have semi-permanent "mud" appied to the sides of your four wheel drive truck to make it look like you've been off road.

DavidBee Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Couldn't it be saved? Replacing rusty body parts is doable. Seems a real pity. Cars in even worse condition have been saved, haven't they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The car is well known in the area, and there are forum members who know a lot more about its history. But as far as I'm aware, the proprietor died about 15 years ago. The garage and cars now belong to his son, who I believe has been unwilling to sell. Deggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I think Deggers is about right. I pass that place regularly and sometimes stop for a nose. It looks like the axle, gearbox and engine are the only parts which might survive. The owner doesn’t want to part with anything from that site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The owner doesn’t want to part with anything from that site. Isn't it still a pity, though? Reminds me of all the "barn finds" stored for yonks. Cars are for driving. I always find car museums depressing. Long-term storage: on the one hand, allows the passage of time and moisture to slowly destroy a vehicle. On the other, possibly preserves it from the crusher.

Tim D. Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 The car is in a village called Chapmans Well. We visited the chap who owned the place about 15 years ago. The TR is not the only treasure.. In the garage behind were many more TRs in various states of decay alongside a couple of Dino Ferraris and some Jags. He took us to a large barn behind which was stuffed with more Triumphs including some spits, heralds and GT6s. I had a spit at the time and he had. Spit chassis on its side. I asked him about it and it was bought NOS from Triumphs back in the day. Never used! Amazing place that seems to be being left to decay. We look in on it each time we pass and marvel at the lost opportunities. Will be passing on Tuesday, may take some shots if anyone is interested? Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PaulAnderson Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Have just looked at Chapmans Well on Google Earth, StreetView and there’s several old cars outside of a building so I assume that’s the place. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie D Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 I don’t want to sound like a killjoy, but I think the least said about the place, and the minimum number of photos on the internet are best. It’s fine for enthusiasts, but it also encourages people with less “Honorable intentions” to find the place.. Charlie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim D. Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Kinda agree but it's known on the Internet and has been for more than 20 years. I often see people taking photos when I drive past. Just one of those enigmas. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
