[TR] Rover V8 engine

[stagbytriumph at triumphstagclub.org]

David,

 

Have you thought your project through?  Lots of customizations needed, custom brackets (engine, accessories, transmission, exhaust) , radiator, relocating accessories like Power steering, alternator, intake, exhaust, wiring changes, transmission, suspension, hood clearances, not to mention if you go EFI extras..

 

Where are you located “gold hill” is where??  I have a Gold Hill near me in Boulder County, Colorado.

Confess John, how many full throttle runs did you make on those runways with new cars on either side, and which models did you “test”??

Dave Northrup wanted to know if the former WW2 airfield I mentioned in my last post was still in existence and if so, does it have any particular use?

 

The answer is Yes to both queries, but not as an airfield. The original WW2 hangars are still there and very much in use by various companies involved in distribution logistics. The former Royal Air Force Control Tower at the north end has long been converted into a private house. 

 

Attached (? Hopefully) is an aerial picture of the airfield layout as it used to be. When in use as a storage park for newly built Standard and Triumph cars, all three runways (still just visible in the pic) were used for storage with cars parked in two parallel lines down the runway centres with two further single lines on each runway edge. Mostly, they were parked by model and wherever possible by colour within each model group – always assuming there was available space. This overall layout gave two free carriageways the full length of each runway for unobstructed vehicle movements in each direction. The runway intersects were obviously not used for vehicle parking.

 

If you’ve ever wondered where the rust on your Triumph first started, you’re now looking at the location!
