Tim Bancroft Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 All entrants, Lets see some pics of your cars and read some words about the cars. To start, here is my GT6 mk 2 that I will be using on the RBRR with my mate Darren Reynolds. Had her a long time and I think this will be her 7th RBRR. New engine is being prepared, nothing too wild, just hoping for a nice smooth revvy 2.0 engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The Flying Log Gusset Brown 1500HL Dolomite, 1979 with poo Brown Interior... This will be the 4th RBRR for this car, which has already successfully completed 3 RBSS. 1st was in 2008 when the car belonged to Darren Sharp, followed by my Team Flying Log Entries in 20014 and 2016. This year the crew will be myself Andy Cook, my 7th RBRR, Glynn Davis, his 3rd RBRR and Mark Smith his 2nd RBRR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolk Amos Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi All, not sure if I should be saying this but this is going to be my first RBRR absolute VIRGIN (I hope there is no initiation ceremony for this). Mary and I are members of the SOC and this is our third Stag. She has had a full nut and bolt resteration over the last 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hi Pete. That was something I wrote about a year ago! I'm honestly delighted that you've got the Stag running so well. I just ended up losing patience with it, it's great to see that it's finally reliable. Do I regret selling? - No, because it was right decision for me at the time and you've done things with it that I couldn't. Anyway here is my 2000 recently. It's now manual and going better than ever. Here's to October 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shynsy Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Grrr! Second Head gasket has just gone on the TR6 in the past month... looks like the surface of the block is out fo true..

Ian Perry Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 This is mine - another gusset brown small saloon, this time a 2-door Toledo with the scary orangey tan interior. Bought last year from one Angela Cotton on the Isle of Wight, the car's amazingly clean - just a bit of the usual rot around the headlights. The old girl came with repair panels for the inner headlamp mounting panel, but I'm trying to convince myself I don't need to take the wings off to make it all sound and solid. Under the bonnet is the standard original 1300 OHV engine, but I have an unleaded head ready (ish) to go on, then a stainless steel manifold and downpipe and a pair of HS2s. To make the most of that, it also needs a Spit III profile cam, so that's next on the shopping list. I'd love an overdrive box but that's not very original either... I've done RBRR 2 or 3 times already, but that was about 15-20 years ago - again in a 2-door Toledo. I'm sure JOG and LE are still there... I've been a race and rally driver for 30+ years, my navigator and another driver mate are planning to come along, though my GF Hannah is also talking about coming. Four up might be a struggle, who do I say "no" to??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Perry Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Quoted from Shynsy- "And what's under the hood..." Erm - think you put the wrong photo in there - what's under the hood is the driver's seat, passenger seat, steering wheel, some wood and carpets and stuff. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 As you can see much work still to do. Almost ready for paint though. The plan is to be on the road and running by May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCG Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hi all - here's a pic of my Lizzie with a fresh Sapphire Blue coat, with much thanks to the gents at Yorkshire Triumph. This will be my first RBRR and I'll have my brother-in-law as co-driver... who's also an RBRR virgin! I'll be rebuilding Lizzie over the next few months, and then spending as much time on the road before October 5th to discover and hopefully fix the glitches and foul-ups I've made in her re-assembly.
