Hi Phil If you haven't tried it already I suggest you look at the TR Register forum. They have a topic called TRs reunited, you might have better luck tracing the car with them. Dave

Hi Mark We could easily collect the driveshafts from Dave H and bring them with us to the dinner next week and give them to Darren for onward transport. I'll send tou a pm with my contact details. Dave B

I've just remembered that when we did the HERO Scottish Malts Rally last year amongst the foreign cars was a Mercedes 450SL running on US plates, so it can be done.

Hi, If I understand correctly you want insurance whilst your car is temporarily in the UK, and also when you take part in the 2026 10CR on the continent. It might be worth contacting the TR Register insurance (https://www.tr-register.co.uk/insurance) as your car is a modified TR4. I realise it's different but they have been helpful to me using our rally TR4 on competitive events on the continent. Dave

Hi Dan Like Richard I would be very wary of any coating for the inside of tanks, again this is a learned experience. I costed up getting the tank professionally cleaned and leak tested, it wasn't worth it. the cost was similar to buying a new one Dave

As do mine picked up from a stall at an agricultural market, and they are much used. Dave

+ 1 This happened to me on the last 10CR, I had a spare refurbished Lucas PI fuel pump in my boot and was able to give it to replace one which had stopped working, in Kempten and they then completed the run. In return I got a refurbished one sent back to me.

I thought that this post from the TR register forum yesterday about the triumph speed championship 2024 might be of interest to users of this forum. The championship includes sprint events and hillclimbs, and has a good geographical spread including Wales and Scotland. You'll see that they're including 'cars with any sort of Triumph pedigree'. Dave For anyone interested in having a go with the TR Register Championship this season the regulations and entry forms are now available on the TR Register website (https://www.tr-register.co.uk/motorsport). There is also a getting started guide giving advice on safety equipment, car preparation and the format of events. For those who didn't know, due to sponsorship changes, the formal name of the championship is now 'The TR Register Triumph Speed Championship' and this is in part deliberate to make it clearer that the series is open to all makes of Triumphs not just TRs. On that point, we have introduced an 'invitation' class to allow cars with any sort of Triumph pedigree to come along and have a go even if it is not fully eligible. So any of you with a V8 TR6 or Spitfire with a Ford engine come and have a go.

John Thanks for the link, I'll passit on when I contact the family. As you say best to come from a family member. Dave

Good morning, Just picked up this thread and share the concerns about facebook. I will contact Nuala's family and see what can be done with her facebook pages. I do know that after she died her family were faced with a catch22 situation, ie only the owner could close it down/alter it. Dave

a look at carandclassic.co.uk... There's plenty of choice here from £4 to £40K Dave

Tim, what dash are you after, the same as the came with the car, or a veneer like many fit nowadays? If you can wait there are usually different suppliers at MG/Triumph spares day in February who you could speak to. Dave

Hi, I would contact your supplier, and ask for a replacement or refund. Given it is less than six months since you got it there shouldn't be any problem. Dave

Luc Congratulations on passing the Contrôle Technique We had use a GPS sensor for our tripmeter on a rally earlier in the year, rather than the one fitted to the front wheels. We were surprised how inaccurate it became when it didn't have full access to the GPS signals, for us it was when we were travelling in woods/forestry. It 'stretched' distances, and the longer we travelled in the woods the farther out the distance became, which is not helpful when you are looking for a turn at a set distance! It also made the speed read lower than it should, towards the end of the rally we realised that the speedometer and milometer on the car were more accurate than the tripmeter in woods, a great surprise, as we were using a 1970 2.5pi! Anyway I suggest you fit a wheel sensor, or two one for each wheel, if you can and use the GPS sensor as a backup. Like you I fitted the trip meter and clock so as to leave no damage to the car, photo attached. Dave

We're up for some gravel stages on next years C2C, Dalby forest beckons!! Unfortunately the car has retired from the Roger Albert Clark rally
