WE ARE INVITED  

on July 28th to  a

BY THE TR REGISTER

BBQ at IBM Hursley

 

 

 

Having arranged to meet on route for an evening run Dave and Val in their 1934 10 Tickford DHC & Darrell in his 1939 Flying 8 tourer arrived at the parking area.

They were soon joined by a Triumph TR Sports.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As more and more well kept Triumphs arrived the two Standards began to look out of place but suddenly into the area came a post war Bedford Bus followed by a GPO Morris Minor Van with a split screen Morris Oxford.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although the evening was dry it was unfortunately cold. This did not stop people looking around and a lot of interest was shown in the two club Standards.

1Because both cars were equipped with only 6 volt lighting it was decided to leave at 9 p.m.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before leaving there was time to look under the bonnets and this plate was soon found under a TR3. It clearly showed the link to the Standard Motor Company. The New Forest Group  expressed their thanks for their invite

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Darrell did the last ten minutes of his run home in the dark and used his new 6 volt Halogen bulbs for the first time while not great they were a vast improvement on the old pre set bulbs normally fitted on those early cars.
