    +1 I hope they manage to get some tech talks like they had at previous TR National but one at Lincoln. This years talk were rather lacking so hopefully the prospect of more visitors may attract more speakers.

    I have a collection of Triumph car dealer related material and write regularly about them in my blog http://vitessesteve.blogspot.com/. I have not seen a 45single branded by a dealer. The price may depend on which dealer stamped the sleeve as some people collect stuff related to the dealer who originally sold their car. Can you share a photo of the record showing the dealer stamp?

    A company called Loxleys (Bromley) Limited was started in 1 October 1968 and is now dissolved. Alan Cain posted on my facebook page - Loxleys Ltd sold Triumph at 93 / 101 Bromley Common, Bromley from at least 1971 - 1983 and at 306 / 310 Court Rd, Orpington from 1974 - 1978

    A quick search online and I found this much better copy of the plaque. Found on car dealers website who have a very nice Dolomite Sprint for sale. http://www.percivalmotorco.co.uk/1973_Dolomite_Sprint/

    Colin - I have nearly 5GB of stuff now.

    Sorry I have no Loxley info other than can be found in the various dealer lists in my collection: http://vitessesteve.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/triumph-car-dealer-directories.html

    Thanks for sharing that plaque. I will add it to my Triumph Car Dealers collection. I write about Triumph car dealers in my blog at: http://vitessesteve.blogspot.com/search/label/TriumphCarDealers and on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/TriumphCarDealers As yet I have not covered Loxleys so will have a look at my collection to see what I have.

    Congratulations on buying a TR7. Same colour and interior trim as mine. Are the carpets dry? Fascia has to come out to repair or replacement the heater. Or maybe electrical problems bin there too. Have fun. A much maligned Triumph but am sure you will enjoy your time together!

    Also worth trying your local Oxfam bookshop - they have a great variety of books in my experience. They sell online too.

    I think the car is know to TSSC Devon and regularly goes to shows. From memory I posted a couple images in my blog post about Lambs Ltd..

    Oh how I wish I had a tardis.

    Do you think the reg plates are original? If so the reg will give you a clue as to where it was first registered. If you have a heritage cert for your car it will probably include details of the dealer the car was dispatched to by Triumph works. I have lots of dealers directories http://vitessesteve.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/triumph-car-dealer-directories.html where dealers are listed by town and or county.

    thanks for posting. Unfortunately the TR Register moved my Post about Triumph Dealers into their members only section. This image posted above comes from another post to which I am excluded so thanks again for reposting it here.
