Nat'l VTR Conv Richmond, VA

Share this page

I'm heading down to Richmond at the Air Museum and will be there at about 10am Saturday. The Concours deElegance (French for "car show") runs from 10-3pm, then judging. I won't be showing my Triumph, though.

Should be a good show, especially considering the $130 car entry fee. At that price, I assume many of the wealthy owners will show their cars!
 
well I was at the event and just put on a post to see if anyone else was at the show. It was a pretty good show I thought. Everything went real well.

I was also there. Picked up a few bits and pieces at the vendors display, and learned alot from folks I met. Put the TR6 in the Participants Choice show, but left before any awards. It was a good show, lots of cars and lots of knowledge/experience networking.

And I thought $15 to show a car was a lot!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
The National VTR show in Richmond last Saturday was memorable, and an all-Triumph show. There were too many beautiful Triumph cars to count. The show was held outdoors on a perfect day at the VA Aviation Museum, near the Richmond Int'l Airport. It's an impressive museum with lots of antique and historic planes including a Spad WWI fighter; a Wright Flyer replica; a '27 Bellanca; a Curtiss "Jenny", a SR7 Blackbird supersonic fighter; Richard Byrd's 1927 Antarctic expedition plane, etc.

Among the galaxy of Triumphs: 6 GT6s, including a pristine '73 MK III GT6 from Texas that looked like it had never been driven. Also: 4 Triumph Italias, all perfect and lovely; a like-new, black Sports Six convertible, very sexy & rare; TONS of Spitfires; scores of TR2s, TR3s, TR4s and TR250s; a zillion TR6s, many TR7s and 8s; a Triumph 2000; an immaculate, red Jaguar XK120 (to die for!); a few
Heralds, a perfect 1948 Triumph sedan, and much, much more.

The Richmond VTR Chapter deserves tremendous credit for a highly organized and exciting show. Everything went smoothly and the highlight was a fly-in by a 1940 MK XII Supermarine Spitfire fighter. The mighty roar of its smooth and powerful Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 was a real thrill.
