The missus was sorting through some of my Mums old photos ( she died 4 years ago) & came across this. Didnt know that any photos of my early cars were ever taken let alone survived. No idea who took it but its strange that the car has no front bumper, maybe it was away being refurbished .
Sold it for a massive £225 a lot of dosh back then.
Its a 1957 TR3 in Red a fast car for a youngster back then. I had a TR2 (long door) before it, an error in the orginal design meant you could not open the door when parked next to a curb a short door version quickly appeared . If only applies to this one as its hens teeth. It was a shocking Canary Yellow.
Can i please go back to 1965 with what i know now .

 

nice pic and nice car, its always good to keep pics of old cars ect

 

That's great mate...

 

I'd like to see THAT do 200+ MPH mate!!!

 

The TR2 struggled to indicate 100mph, however the car in the pic reached an indicated 106mph it felt very very fast .

 

On a roll now, these photo's also found .


Lotus Eclat with modded engine.


Turbo Technics factory Peugeot


First Pic of Cossie at ND 1996 i think. My son took this pic didnt know what happened to it.


Capri 2.8 & the Cossie back in 1996.


Found lots of other pics of Missus cars etc.

 

Cool pic!
Quite an apt plate, given your current cars goals....

 

Pug looks cool!

Didn't look like Nat day 96 had a massive turnout?! Lol

 

I think the saph looks good on the mondeo 16's

But when did the mondeos have the 16's must have been later than 1996 ?

 

Love the 2.8i special Rod, I'd have one tomorrow if I had the room

 

I had a Capri 2.8i special.

fantastic car pulled very smoothly from 300 rpm but the clutch got very heavy in traffic it's the only car I regret selling.

 

Cool photo's Rod!

 

Cool pictures

 

Lovely cars especially the capri, but it looks like a 1.6/2.0 laser too me same as mine! Who would have thought that the Cossie would end up with 850+hp!

 

awesome pics..

 

Top pics.Keep them coming. Your saph is a little bit different in that pic lol.

 

Great pics Rod, old pics rule, i have few old pics from the early 80's of my old mans rallycross cars, not quite as far back as you though.

 

Fab pics Rod What lovely memories x

 

Have owned the car since July 1996 & it came with those wheels.

 

Some nice cars there! I've got pics of all my old cars so I can look back on them like this

 

It was my first show & i arrived very early . Have a picture with loads of cars in that field a couple of hours later.

 

Love the 205
