Andrew’s Dispatches from NY

In 2003 the TR-Register of Belgium celebrated the 50th anniversary of the speed record set in 1953, Ken Richardson’s run of nearly 125 mph in the then-new Triumph TR2. The Belgians hosted a celebration attended by close to 200 Triumphs and a cruise that included sections of the Jabbeke highway of legend. The commemorated 1953 run gave legitimacy to the affordable new Triumph sports cars in an era when cars that could make 100-plus were definitely a rarity. The video is close to an hour long and includes original footage of the record-setting runs. Just the thing to help get you through the winter!

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of piloting a fellow Brits of the Hudson member’s beautiful 1959 MGA to a serious car show in nearby Greenwich, CT.  The car’s owner had received the honor of having his car accepted but could not attend himself due to a personal scheduling conflict.

I spent much of the day snapping pictures, see the gallery here.
