Subject: lost triumph history
Importance: High
Friends,British Car Enthousiasts,
Let me introduce myself and the country where i live;i'm writing you from
Belgium,a verry smal country in the middle of Europe,with the
Netherlands,Germany,and France as neighbour's,but it is a little important
because all the European- and World organisations are located at our
capital(Brussels).My name is Frans Caers,i'm 50 years old,and married with
Paula.
I'm working allready 30 years for a company that(i think) will sound verry
wellknowned to you:Serv-a-Portion(the Big name in the little packages)once
owned by Di Gorgio International and now proporty by Heinz(ketchup).I know
that Serv-a-Portion owns a factory at the West Coast,near L.A.
But,to the point now;i'm looking atfter the history for my restored Triumph
TR 6.
The car came to Europe in 1991,and was the proporty of a man who had parked
the car in his cellar,and did nothing with it.
I have found the car in 1997 and after months pushtrough,i could persuade
him to sell the car;then it was early 1998.After almost 4 years hard
labour,the TR6 is almost finiched now;and now i'm looking for the car's
history.
commision nr.CF 14047 U
engine nr. CF 14133 UE
BODY NR. T.13338/CF
I know the history from the day(31/08/73) it was made until it is shipped to
the States(20/03/74),to Jacksonville(but i think there are three
Jacksonville's in the USA,then wen it was shipped to Belgium it came with a
licence paper,giving by the state of California,with the data from the last
owner in the US:the man who owned the car before it was exported was:
Brooke John R.
202 Monterey Street
Santa Cruz/California
He owned the car from 1979 until 1990/91 and his licence plate was:588 XGW
(light bleu with yellow) an i think that if he was the first owner,he
carried an dark bleu licence plate-with yellow.
I have written Mr. Brooke a lettre on january 2000,but he never
responded,maybe he don't live there anymore or the lettre is never arrived
in the US,who knows?
The question is:is there somebody who could help me to find the lost history
from the car between it was shipped to the USA on 20/03/74 and the time Mr
Brooke owned the car in 1979?Maybe the car was owned by one of your members
or a member from a other club from people you know?
I have found your e-mailadres at the webside of British Car Magazine,and i'm
conviced that you are a full enthousiast ,like i am,so:could you help me
please?
I look forward to here from You.
Thank You
Regards,
Frans Caers
