Tr3a all finished.

Recommended Posts

Hi. This is my TR3a. After a 3 month delay with DVLA and losing most of the summer, I have enjoyed some great rides out. 

Pictures show what I started with last August. I worked 7 days a week on it. 

I've just joined Club Triumph because I've got an interest in all Triumphs. I've had a 2000 estate, a 2500 and a Spitfire before my TR. 

I'm near Darlington and hoping to meet some fellow club members in due course.

That's the colour mine was originally. I can imagine the quality of parts was a lot better 30 years ago! That's the thing which caused me most concern with my restoration. It really is dire these days. You buy stuff in good faith from UK only to find its far Eastern rubbish. Looking forward to seeing yours out n about.

Parts quality didn't seem an issue  back then, it was more a case of finding parts, often buying used and refurbishing as necessary. It did help that a renowned TR specialist was based at Sedgefield (Northern TR's) and Moss had a branch in Darlington. 

Not sure if Teeside Triumphs have restarted meeting since the pandemic. The last time I went was over two years ago, in the tr as it happens. Hopefully someone on here will be able to advise if the meet ups have restarted. I could do with getting my mojo back and getting the cars out again.

It looks like @Andyone is the group organiser, but not sure he’s around here lately. Maybe @TimW can help. 

Hi  @Colin Caygill   and welcome to the the club. I have heard from the Cheshire local group organiser that the teeside meet is no longer being held (I believe it became somewhat political). If you would like to take on the role of local group organiser for the region then I'd gladly chat with you to see how the club can offer its support.
