Hey,

Sunday 11-Jul-93 was a beautiful day up here in New England. It was nice enough 
to attract 90 Triumphs to the New England Triumph "Day of Triumph" at the 
Museum 
of Transportation. (My personal preference would have been to drive around all 
day, but that's another story.

Highlights: One Really Nice TR4a. Black, perfect finish. Owner spent an 
estimated 300 hours detailing the engine compartment to original. Result: He's 
afraid to drive it very far now! There were 2 Triumph Heralds (65 or so). 
Ironically, they were the same original powder blue color. One had 17,841 
original miles...it still had the plastic from the factory on one of the door 
panels. The person showing the car was an appraiser and the car was for sale. 
Estimated value $10k! I have one question...$10k for a Herald? There were lots 
of nice tr6's some really nice Tr3's lots of Spits after '70. There was only 
one 
TR2, and only one pre '70 Spitfire! I was amazed, there _MUST_ be more Mk1 and 
Mk2 Spitfires around. There were 3 GT6's! One Stag was there early, but he left 
before people started voting...Just think a guaranteed trophy and he left!

Anyway, it was fun. There were a lot of TR's that did no show too. Also, in the 
"Triumph Powered" class, there was only one entry, a TVR 2500. Maybe there'll 
be 
a Peerless next year, Roger G?
