Thought there might be some who would enjoy looking at old Triumph stuff.





















































 
The photo of the TR4 with all the water spray was taken during the 1964 Cross Canada Shell 4000 Rallye - probably somewhere in Manitoba. It is one of the 3 powder blue works cars which Kas Kasner prepared in Portland Oregon with Oregon plates - not the British plates originally used. These cars all exist today in England and regularly run in serious rallyes.

I did that rally as a navigator in a Renault R-8.

Don Elliott, Original Owner, 1958 TR3A

Great photos. Especially loved the parking lot!! Thanx for sharing.
 
Modern digital photos are no doubt more accurate -- but my memories of that era are all in Kodachrome. Thanks for sharing these.

Oh, and 3 out of 4 chimps prefer the new TR4A.

Yes, thanks for sharing.

I'm 79 years old so by definition, I'm old-school (my grandsons use dinosaur). For some reason, I love seeing the side-curtain Triumphs with "full" white walls. Not that the others look bad, but that "look" is etched in my memory. The same with "wires" vs "discs". I drooled (& still do) over the XK-120 & 140 but they were just a dream. But in that dream they still have "full" white walls & "wires", except for the discs with the rear wheel skirts (spats?). Just rambling!

I don't see a car in the one picture, so can I assume the blonde is signing papers to buy a new Triumph?

Nope....That's a photo of British actress Sabrina (the photo before her is the Triumph TRS "Sabrina" engine).



 
Great stuff, Jay.

That last one: "Hey, Beav - watch this!"
 
I think that 2nd to last picture is from the show? It's Wally and Eddie walking away from the TR. Question - how did they get 5 guys in the TR? :smile:
 
Ms Sabrina looks like she'd be dangerous in a front-end collision. Maybe even if she were in a car.

Also, it seems weirdly appropriate that she'd be advertising projection equipment.
