Police Car at NEC Classic Car Show

 TR Register welcomes Police car
If you are at the NEC classic car show this weekend why not drop onto the TR Register stand and see the fully restored Police car. Neil Revington has spent several years restoring the TR4 to its former glory. Now on show for the first time since its restoration has been completed it is a fine example of the TR4 in Police guise.

 If you would like to discuss any aspects of the car or would like RevingtonTR to  carry out restoration work, small or large, or service work on your TR, please give us a call  on +0044(0)1823698437.

High Quality Side Repeater Lamps From Revington TR

Recently Remanufactured- Now back on the market

 

Revington TR together with the TR Register recently re- introduced side repeater assemblies for TR4A, TR5 and TR250. All the lamps have been re-tooled from an original sample. Using laser technology to copy the sample and design the tool the final result is a faithful, high quality reproduction to the highest standard. The body itself is made from a modern aluminium alloy with an excellent chrome finish.

What makes them so good?

•  The main gasket has the correct raised edge and the correct integral grommet on the back. The shape has been corrected to fit the original body shape. The original gasket shape was not the same as the body!
• All parts are fully interchangeable with original parts, even down to the bulbs and bulb holders.
•  The attachment studs are ¼” UNF and have been set at the correct angle.
•  The flutes in the main body are identical to original samples. There is the correct number and the bull-nosed ends have been faithfully reproduced.
•  The lamps were test fitted on unused Stanpart wings to verify the fit prior to tooling being laid down.
•   The lamps are supplied, boxed and well-protected, with the appropriate Part Number and descriptive label.

All 4 versions are available:
(Amber/Amber for US market)

Battle against all odds for Triumph team at Snetterton MG Relay Race

Planning for this event was taken on board by John Davies and initially consisted of 6 cars in the team. However on the day because of personal and car reasons to team members had to drop out and we started the event as a 4 car team. Apart from the cars and drivers there are other people involved including Mike and Jan May of TR3 fame (CHUG) who kindly put us up before and after the race and acted as spotters on the day. Also Alec and Diane Pringle who acted as deputy team manager to John and time keeper.

Alec has written a short report which follows but although the team suffered some mechanical maladies the TR5 soldiered on and as a result even though the team didn't do very well, I had a great time and certainly got my moneys worth, considering the number of laps I ended up doing! As the weather was hot and the stints were long dehydration became an issue and I remember having a splitting headache after my first stint of an hour and fifteen minutes, which quickly went away after drinking a gallon of water.

If we accept this event as a learning curve, we will be back on October 14th 2012 to give a better showing. Put it in your diary now as spectators and helpers are always welcome.

Revington TR/TR Register Sprint and Hillclimb Championship Update

The weekend of the 6th August I took part in the MIRA Sprint at Nuneaton a round of our Hillclimb and Sprint Championship. Because of work and domestic pressures, this was in fact the first event in our championship I have been able to take part in this year. This is the first season in which Competitors have been competing under our new rule system. This new system is designed to encourage more people who wish to have a go to come join the championship as all class structures have been removed and one competes against a personal bogey time at each event where the bogey time is calculated by the championship organisers, based on information provided by the competitor about their car and their experience/ability. Whilst it's early days, we hope this new format will encourage many new competitors in the coming years.

TR4 POLICE CAR 4100HJ

Comm. No. CT7571O

This white TR4 was supplied new to Southend-on-sea County Borough Constabulary in May 1962. Superintendent Bill Burles allocated the car the task of ‘fast pursuit car’ a task which it performed very well according to officers that either drove the car or were observers at the time. The car was equipped with a Pye Radio, Winkworth bell, air horns, spot lamps, reversing lamp, windscreen mounted hand lamp, front and rear Police signs, rear stop sign and wing mirrors. All of which was fitted in the constabularies own workshops.
