The Triumph TR2 Story

● February 2020 at Retromobile, Paris, and we saw a Triumph TR2 from the side being exhibited at the show. I was just about to say "that's like Mike Hurn's car". As I approached it, the magic PKV 693 registration plate appeared before me. I had found cousin Mike' s car! The new owner of the car, Geoffroy de Lacretelle, was as surprised to hear my story as I was to find the car!.He lives in Paris but the car is kept in Brittany and we have put plans in place to re-unite the car and its first racing driver owner, hopefully later this year.
Happily I phoned Mike to tell him the news and we met shortly afterwards to have yet another lunch. This time I was surprised yet again as the erstwhile owner had kept every programme, photograph and invoice for the car (including the rebuild cost after the accident!). The circle is finally complete.

Excellent , I have got a 1957 TR3 . When I bought it in 1991 that too had been rolled . It finally hit the road in 2005 , and kept me sane during the lockdown . Great fun .
