It travelled from Canada to Coventry. It will stay for a few months at the museum, so that everybody can admire it. It is the collectable TRIUMPH ITALIA 2000. May be the single chance for somebody to see the car live! Few have been made, even fewer survive.

Wonderful cars that can't be seen too often... especially in this condition! The number plate is probably worth more than the car!

Spitfire MkIII

GT6 MkIII

Swallow Doretti based on TR-2 chassis - rare and beautiful!

Pretty TR3, perfectly restored!

We could never be the only foreign visitors to such events. Gianni Terrevoli and Ermes Formilan between Soulis and Nassos.

Socratis Giaouris: He travelled on a single day from Drama to Athens (by car), met up with us, and flew to Luton. What love for Triumphs can do...

 


The TR-Register booth. B. Karageorgos always busy talking to club officials in the background.

If the only sound thing on your tired Spitfire is the chassis, you have a good base to build-up a Le Mans replica car. Polyester body and a line-6 2-litre engine!

 


Ôriumph GT6 at the show parking. Probably driven from far away to attend the big happening at NAC, Warwickshire.
