British Motor Industry Heritage Trust
75th Anniversary of the Triumph
My wife and I were fortunate enough to travel to England and go to the festivities.
Here are some pictures I took at the event.

I apologize in advance for not cleaning up the images, this page will take some time to load.

Boy, was it ever hard to leave the parking lot!!! This is half the lot as we arrived...
 

This was the other half! Every car you see out there is a Triumph!
 
 

As the day wore on, the lots filled to over capacity. New parking spaces were 'made', and you can see the final row or Triumphs peeking over the hill! To some, this was their first clue there were lots of cars up there.
 

A beautiful example!
 
 

We in the United States are always searching for that elusive Surrey Top. Let me tell you folks, they are all in England!
 

Interesting paint job. This guy's Herald(?) parked behing the TR3A had the same paint scheme.
 
 

This WAS a Triumph Rally Car...
 
 

Someone decided they needed a bit more room in the back of their TR7. Not well executed, though.
 
 

A thing of great beauty...
 

Looks like fun???
 

This is Leon Guyot's Vittesse. I seriously doubt there is another one near as nice in the world. For all those inquiring minds who need to know, that is Rich Jackson wearing a rather rude white t-shirt and sunglasses.
 

And this is Leon Guyeot, posing next to his masterpiece. (His doors close nicer than my '98 Dodge Ram)
 
 

Doesn't this look like fun? I wonder how quad SU's would work on my TR3???
 

This guy must be serious about going fast!
 

The nicest Mayflower I have ever seen.
 

The TR4 Dove. The GT conversion authorized (?) by Triumph. Pretty cool!
 

Love the Dove emblem.
 

Alas, the crowd is thinning out. The show is almost over.

Driving around merry 'ol England that weekend was giving me whiplash. the day before the event, I think everyone had their Triumph out to make sure it was full of petrol, and would make the trip to Gaydon. Traveling to the show on Sunday morning, while cruising down the motorways at a very high rate of speed, I'll bet we passed 75 Triumphs making their way to the show. On the way home we were going 90MPH and got passed by two 2.5PI's who must have been clocking at least 100... What a day!
