Caroline Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Quoted from timbancroft61 How do you lose the faces! Capital D and I get a face!!!!It's the proximity of the colon and the capital D that's doing this - put a space between them and you'll be OKCaroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I've got my ride for the RBRR with Dave in the Canley Classics entry. This time we're doing it in real comfort - we're taking one of Dave's specials.It's a bit of an interesting beast, an experimental 2000 shell with a TR8 3500 V8 in it, built by the factory. In true Pearson style this was his daily driver a few years back but it was taken off the road for a little work - several years later it's in the museum. Everytime I saw it I asked "When are we going to take this out and frighten people with it?"So what do you call it I wonder? Dave says he's put the entry in so is it listed as TR8 4 door or Triumph 3500 or 2000 Mk3 or maybe just V8 Saloon - one thing for sure, the car is branded into Dave's psyche as the one that you can get sideways off the line and still be sideways 100 yards down the road - I like it already.Just needs to be finished with a radiator, and some minor bits, like a gear lever. Oh, and it needs an exhaust making too. Third crew member to be advised.As you can see here http://www.canleyclassics.com/museum.asp?article=v8saloon.xml Canley Classics have a few of these off tools specials - I think Claire (Dave's wife) has one as a daily driver.J ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 Latest entries as of today as follows:28.Michael Helm/Gillian Helm: Triumph TR629.Ian Perry/Charlene Gibson: TBA30.Craig Bennett/Alan Chatterton: Triumph 2500S Estate31.Rob Swift/Mark Deacon: Triumph Vitresse MK232.David Jenkins/Jessica Jenkins: Triumph Herald 120033.Dave Kirk/Kelvin Jones/David Carter: Triumph 2.5Pi Mk2That leaves 42 places left, which considering that there is still 6 months to go before the entry list closes is very good. So yet again I must say that if you intend to enter do not delay. An interesting fact is that I am receiving at least one enquiry a day about the event all from Triumph owners that have not done the event before, also alot of the confirmed entrants are new members to the club.

Tim Bancroft Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 Cheers Jason!Only 175 days to go!By the way I have just bought a 1969 2.5Pi mark one, slate grey, interesting red interior, runs on HS6's, J type overdrive, full length Webasto, on TR6 steels, does the ton. Has wooden brakes, a wheel bearing to be done and some attention to the clutch! However you can't beat the old six cylinder noise, comparable performance to my Mondeo 2.0. This will be used for next years 10CRI'll post a couple of pics. on Tuesday. There is now no doubt in my mind that this Triumph interest is a disease! Steve Waddingham's 'Triumph Anomymous' has failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Lovely! I'd like to see some pictures of it - I like the red interior (is it leather or vinyl?) and the slate grey paint, probably my favourite colour scheme for a road car. Any plans to reinstate the PI? You know you want to :-)Where did you find it? Mk1s are getting rare, Mk1 PI's were never that common in the first place! Well done in keeping the faith. By the way, I heard you had fun on the track in the GT6 - I wish I'd been there now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
