That’s all bollocks!

Hi people I was wandering how many other members have a vintage triumph in their garage? If there is enough of us perhaps we could have a vintage / veterans register. Unless there is one and I am missing something shaun

Thank you Nigel and Adrian. Appreciate helpful feed back

Looking to put chrome wire wheels with spin on adaptors on the wife herald convertible. Any recommendations , supplier, how many wires, and size etc. Also Im happy to go second hand for good condition ones the car is Valentina blue if any one has any pics shaun

Well said Chris.

Well I’m hopeful Chris has his finger on the pulse and makes a point of looking to what his club members are discussing.

I knew you lot would hijack my thread! stay on topic guys ie how can we better Stratford, put learnt lessons into progress and make an annual Triumph meeting an event on every ones calendar Shaun Beavon

Hi all im posting this on the general topic as I do not want it to be hijacked or go off tangent. Basically it’s my take on the long awaited joint venture of two of the many triumph clubs. First of all the organising of the event fell short of the mark, you did a Stirling job with the resources you where given, however area’s that could be improved on 1/ on site catering was woefull, 2/ the Tssc office was just shy of a party gazebo! Can we not invest a bit more, into the first public contact point, to a more functional mobile office. 3/ the site layout was disjointed and separated by the race course. No pedestrian access other then the track used by cars on an off the site. No traffic management at this point 4/ the traders including auto jumble need to be looked after. To the effect the chosen site should have an undercover shed /barn to house them. We got away with it this year as the weather could have been worse 5/ camping facilities were limited The good points, 1/ two large triumph clubs merging for an event. 2/ entertainment was excellent 3/ the event was held in a good position for all to attend 4/ the foot fall, or should I say tyre tread was good. It appeared everyone made an effort to go. So in summary, a marginal success. However, the tssc and tr registered should have pushed the boat out further and hired a site that would cover my misgivings. You all know the site I have in mind . For those that don’t , Malvern. Just the other side of the m5. Yes I know it is expensive but the cost covered by two clubs should be able to bear it. If the weather had carried on as it was on Friday, the event would have suffered greatly. To the management, you got away with it this year but please please don’t loose this momentum, make sure Gayden has the necessary infrastructure or better still re look at Malvern. Those people that gave up there spare time and effort for the weekend thank you. Please dont take my remarks as negative but as constructive criticism and in that spirit if I can help with next year in anyway please call on me. Shaun Beavon

new edition to the fleet. Anyone know the history of the car please tell.... Stanbury tt prototype. Using 13/60 running gear

This is far too cryptic for me !

Apparantly it was mot until july this year and is now on a sorn.The colour is now red ! shaun

As my car was first registered in June 1974 it must have been one of the last off the production line. I believe the last one was commision number KE (KF) 24218. Mine is KE24018. Does any one own from this num on wards or do i own the last !!!! According to one web site. Of the 74 registration, 57 are licensed and 77 are sorn. cheers. Shaun

I suspect whoever recondition the cylinder head (gt6 mk3) got it wrong with reference the valve guides as the engine burns oil intermittently. It did have the mod to supply oil to the rear of the rocker shaft, i took it off which made a big difference. Can any one direct me to a supplier of a set of valve seals. I know they where not fitted originally but they may be an easy solution. Any thoughts shaun

Hi Dave slightly off topic, i have just had my rad recored and upgraded cost 200. Not sure where you are but done in plymouth. shaun
