Mk1 but with 2.5 power and MOD box should be a bit more capable this time!

When the car failed on the Timmelsjoch one of the first things I did was checking underneath the car. At that point the prop shaft still was in its designed location and not hanging on the catch band. It dropped out sometime afterwards. As the prop wasn't turning at the time I thought it was either a clutch of gearbox failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is at the top waiting for recovery & the ensuing issues. Howard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tr250 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This is my first 10CR and I’m coming from the states as part of team torpedo. I’m absolutely thrilled. I’m planning on driving, buying, and importing the reincarnated “Deuce” a converted Brown 1500 fwd…now has a sprint drive line complete with overdrive. It was driven and blown up in Italy during the last 10CR I believe. Engine has been rebuilt, it’s been painted and has a new vinyl top on the roof. More upgrades are scheduled prior to September. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky_spit Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Your saloon is looking good Tim.... very nice. Is that Dolomite Bill Goodwins' old car by any chance? It sort of looks familiar? Again, very nicely prepared. Edited November 30, 2021 by sparky_spit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good car, but I heard it had deteriorated since he left us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shynsy Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hi All, Only on the reserve list. Hoping to do in our newly acquired RV8 stag (The Colonel), but if we don't get it prepared in time it'll be ol' faithful, the supercharged TR6. It loves those mountain passes!
