Jason Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Nice if it could stay in the “family” 😀 It’s become a RBRR fixture! Fresh straw on the floor and it’ll go around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Sharp Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Wide eyed and penniless I’ve gone and done it again! Looks like Ash , Wendy and I will be heading down to Somerset to view and pick up another Triumph then . This car was originally offered to me back in the dark ages and has an interesting aside . Steve Radley and I had just completed a CT event and pulled into South Mimms for a coffee where we were approached by an old gent who said “ I’ve got one of those” . Whilst we were talking, another guy was admiring Olaf and I think it was Steve who recognised him as non other than Paul Weller from the Jam and the Style Council. We later saw him in Costa and he nodded his approval . I later went to view this car complete with bush growing around the engine bay . I passed it on to Colin Wake who snapped it up .. is there a town called Malice anywhere on the 10 CR in case in comes to pieces in my hand from the floorboards up. Let’s hope that it’s the “ Best thing that ever happened “ and we don’t have to “ Push it Along” however “ That’s Entertainment “ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Sharp Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 On a serious note should it have bumpers on for the 10CR . And if so anyone got some ? Manky but complete would be fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of at least 1 de-bumpered 2000 that's done the 10CR before... whether it "should" have bumpers or not is a different matter (maybe for defense against Czech wildlife?)
