  1. "Although we had members with Triumph 1300’s none was willing or able to join the happy band, so we managed to persuade Broadfields Engineering, Standard-Triumph Distributors of Cockfosters, Herts., to lend us their demonstration 1300 for the week-end and we are very grateful to them and to Standard-Triumph for providing a Triumph 2000 at the last minute when our driver dropped out.  Thus we were able to field a team of six cars, one of each model produced by Triumph at the time."

    "Traffic on Sunday afternoon was quite heavy and the run in to check with our marshall at Charing Cross was rather trying.  However, we foregathered at a prearranged spot near the finish and waited the arrival of the Spitfire which joined us in plenty of time for all six cars to drive triumphantly into Broadfields Garage in the same order as they had started."

    The above appears under the 1966 history article on the main web site  [Sorry, link no longer available]
    .....it was cut and pasted onto the blog  here http://ctrbrr.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page.html

  2. Quoted from Wilfrid
    Great idea to provide this information and history, but there are quite a few errors as well as typos. For instance uin 1966 the 2000 was not provided by Broadfields - can't think where this idea came from - actually it was a Works car driven by test driver Fred Nicklin with Club Secretary Dennis Bullock. Also where did Charing Cross come from?! They are not called Route Books - they have always been Road Books.
