The main difference betwen the TR4 and TR4A was the inclusion of Indipendant Rear Suspension (IRS). The IRS design used in the TR4A was the basis for the IRS used in TR5, TR6, Sedans and Stag
The TR3A is fitted with a larger 2138cc engine than the its predecessor the TR3 which had a 1991cc engine
The TR7 was a very controversial shape to say the least. None of the original TR heritage was carried over to this car, it was a completly new car from the ground up. Mechanically this car was much the same as most of the Japanese offerings of the time.
Some people say the TR6 was the end of the true TR sports car. It had the best of everything the TR range had to offer, Disk Brakes, IRS, Electric Overdrive and a soft top
Arguably the best model to come from British Leyland is the Triumph Dolomite Sprint. The Sprint was a true sports saloon and offered incredible performance that is impressive even by today's standards. A unique 16 valve SOHC head was applied to this model, which was favourably comapred with BMW2002tii and similar sporting saloons of the period.
Australian market cars were all Mimosa (yellow), but dealers like Hodgson in Sydney,specially imported a few white ones to offer something a lttle special to enthusiasts. Anumber of the cars were raced here , however they had few major sucesses.
Triumph brings you the most powerful TR ever as performance returns to the open sports car. The TR8 convertable, Triumphs newest source of power.
The heart of the TR8 is a muscular 3.5 litre V8 cast of light weight aluminum alloy, Strong silent pulsing V8 power! Dual exhausts, fuel injection and cylinders lined with high strength steel give it impressive power and strength.
The Nationals were held in Queensland this year, from September 13th to 21st.
We started off at ‘Cherrabah” a country homestead resort near Warwick on the Darling Downs with Registration and the Welcome Dinner.
Sunday the 14th was Pride of Ownership in Warwick on a lovely day. The rain held off until the evening but Greg Bird, (Nationals Organiser and entertainer) and his band, Tuxedo Junction, had to pack up and come into the lounge to play their fantastic music or risk the temporary shelter landing on them as it filled with water.
Monday the 15th was Morgan Park competition. This went well in great weather and the CAMS stewards and Clerk of Course were most complimentary about this stress free and relaxed day.
Now. Every one has their own special way of doing things. I tend to excel at really crazy ways of doing things mostly because I'm always looking for a quickest way out.
Secondly I would not recommend trying this at home, all the usual safety warnings and legal indemnities etc etc etc
Although I did do it at home

The layout was changed slightly this year and worked well, with some more lessons learnt for adjusting next year.

I'm a recently rejoined member of TSOA NSW and I'm trying to track down a TR6 I owned in the late 80's in Sydney. I sold it to a bloke called Steve Bryant who apparently moved to Qld in about 1999 ish and started a paint ball business up there.
I have looked up all the paintball outfits, and Bryants, in the phone book but have been unable to make contact. Since we're talking 20 years ago he may have even sold it since then, perhaps to a club member, or it might have been seen around the traps.
The car is an ex marque sports racer, white with flared guards and Koni rear shock absorber conversion. The bumper bars were white as well. It's not your usual 6 so I have attached some photos in case they help.
Thanks for any information.
Best regards
