Sure I still have it's bumpers about somewhere. Looks better without.

No you weren't!! Price was cheap though. And it is a bloody good car. Still have some bits of it floating about somewhere.

Thiss was being discussed somewhere else recently. There is another Hino that is even more Triumph like I think. Renault 4 based underneath.

Can't see the speedo being problem, they will have banned IC engines before it is on the road again, so you will need to find an electronic one to work with the batteries.

One option to investigate is not booking any hotels after the start one, and doing it on the fly. Would not have worked before the advent of fully online hotel booking. That way you ar not committing to doing a certain mileage each day. Kinda worked for us last time. Just watch out for website not showing the correct location of the hotel caught us out once, location was almost 100 miles wrong direction.

It wont, different size spline on end of column

Lots of the problems stem from poor data transfer from the old manual records, also the original registration process.

Definitely Gunmetal with Shadow Blue interior.

Do you mean the airbox? The filters are readily available from most Triumph specialists

I think you are probably right. Overall the Mercedes was the better car, and Verstappen was the better driver, helped by the best strategy in the final race. I wonder if Hamilton (and Mercedes) took their eye off the ball a bit, and got caught napping. When the challenger starts to show his form, he just ups his game a little and blows them away, this year he just could not shake Max off. It was noted by Max that they were both drained at the end of some of the races, Lewis has not had to work that hard in years. Also don't forget how Lewis stole it from Massa on last lap at Brazil, good strategy and a bit of luck.

Some models were nearly always specified with OD, others rarely. Most TR6 seem to be OD. And PI saloons. not so many Vitesse, hardly any Mk3 Spitfire.

Looked in garage yesterday, front door cards and a rear squab in Tan, not sure where the rear base has gone, possibly eaten by the mice and dumped many moons ago.

They tend to be Tulips with distances (in miles usually, our Dutch friends are kind to us) and POI noted, such as town and village names. So just need a working odometer and a navigator who can read in a moving car.

Sounds like you need to do a Chinese Rally or a Nachtrit.

A types have an accumulator, and a pump that's works one way, J type donhave an accumulator, and a pump that works up and down. Don't think the D type has an accumulator, and has a one way pump.

Vitesse front seats are usually different to Herald, though 13/60 similar. Rear seats more similar. Front door cards have pockets on Vitesse, rear panels similar to Herald. I have some tan Herald trim, and possibly a rear seat.

Font size is dictated by the layout of the webpage, just storied altering the "dynamic font size" option, but seemsthe CT pages does not use that option.

I always found the earlier 10CR without the nightly hotels much more relaxing, lot less rushing about. So solution is to increase the duration and reduce the mileage, but then that doesn't suit many.

If you have the iPad n landscape you get an events option on the cross bar instead of the 3 bars. but if you hit It, you get a 1mm box drop down, impossible to see what it is.

Had a play and the website is totally different in portrait, looks like my phone. Weird.

Never thought of trying portrait. 😞

Be brave, Atlantic to Pacific, or for the short version, Atlantic to Indian.

There are not that many yet, but yes, the numbers are increasing. If you have a concours one, and do long distance events, is it a show car?

The club has featured well used ones in the past on its stands. I know Steve Radley had Gertie his hard driven and slightly tired 2000 at the NEC one year.

Give it 10 years and the scrapyards will be full of EV's, smashed up ones and more likely ones with knackered batteries (nothing like a throw-away society) There will suddenly be lots of info about on how to scour for what parts and the conversion will be much cheaper. And then I can go screaming past you at full chat with the exhaust howling. 🙂
