WIMPUS Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Maybe some have seen it.. On christmas night the Roadster Factory in the US caught fire.. It fully burned to the ground, only 3 Triumphs could be saved. A real sad sight 😪😪 https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/christmas-day-fire-destroys-prominent-british-car-parts-supplier/?fbclid=IwAR0cMoWyl0zvTW0kzfQrTkeIiKvbbgnJdLfPkOxhwyJnYfnescY3DUbimvM Edited December 26, 2023 by WIMPUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMPUS Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 11 hours ago, mikeyb said: had never heard of it, but that's sad They started in 1978. Had yearly events, raced Triumphs, let parts made up, lots of NOS parts, etc etc. They had 2 TRS Lemans racers, but sold in 2019 after the original owner died. Now it was his son that took over. But they had more rare Sabrina engines in there.. They did get the TR3 out, thats the car why they started to sell parts for Triumphs.

WIMPUS Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 How it was back in the day. It was really full in there.. https://youtu.be/VxL_5sp9El8?si=NzTuZLYGqXe26aEJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 A lot of valuable spares lost in there I think. But with piles of combustable materials crammed in everywhere with no signs of fire segregation etc. I'm not surprised it burned so comprehensively. Really sad to see though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
