alsancle Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Looks like a solid turnout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entry numbers went close to 100, but there was considerably less on the field. 40% Chance of rain forecast for the afternoon so maybe that scared some away. It sprinkled very briefly...not even enough to get the ground wet. Off-and-on cloudy. Hot. Touched 90-degrees for a while mid-day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Cole Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 I really like that 1937 Alvis. I've shown alongside him several times. Nice guy. He also has a 1925. Both unrestored family-heirlooms. Most of them time he drives one or the other to shows. He said it took about 35 minutes to drive ~20 miles to the show yesterday. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Great pics George - reminds me of when I would anxiously wait for the next issue of British Car & Bike. Heck, even a Triumph Stag. Brave man he is... 😉😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's registered for Wheels Across the Pond, which is the next upcoming European show, less than 3-weeks from now in Jupiter. Several years ago there were over 500 cars registered. So far this year, only about 200, but registration's still open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Dollar for dollar my old TR-6 was one of the most fun cars I ever had, easily in the top 3. I understand a pre Federal standards MGB is better in turns but never driven one. The Stag could have been a pretty cool GT but man... Hope your buddy's car is sorted and treats him well. I bet that community has figured out a lot by now. They show up now and then up here. Then they came out with the TR-7 and you know the rest of that story.. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TR7 & TR8 finished off Triumph for good..,at least here in Canada. Today Steve I was able to finally yard drive my TR6. A big step forward as it hadn't moved under it's own power in many decades. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Do the tr7/8 get any love? I think they are pretty neat cars (one is rotting away a few miles from my house, only 1 I have seen for many years). I still remember the tv commercials of it parking in a wedge shaped garage 'the shape of the future'? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrData Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 George, Thanks for the great shots. Particularly like the two-seater AH 100-6… rings back a lot of memories. The green Be they roadster was interesting. I have never seen one quite like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 14 I thought, yeah I could get into one of those but 14 year olds don't have to deal w build quality... 😉😁 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) TR 7's are starting to climb a bit in value, but most have been parted out or scraped years ago. Low survival rate .TR 8's have always had a loyal following. Decent ones are becoming quite expensive.

I thought the green Bentley roadster was a shoe-in for Best of Show, but it left early...most likely due to the pending rain which for the most part, never materialized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
