I've missed it as last post here done in June just before I could post. I been reading this allover last night. Just complete reading. Great thread MD. Can you please, post new photos of her?

Sure.

It still looks the same though.Trying to scrape up the money to do the final paint job.So no updates except It has been fitted an external electric cooling fan...

And I've decided to call her Miss Lumley...after the British actress.

Thats what a harem is. Hope you meant beauties. The butties were usually used to guard the beauties coz they wouldn't be interested in the women...

[Komisiripala]

Yeah that's a harem. And there were castrated butties to look after the beauties!!

Of course Peri, beauties what I meant. That was a typing mistake. That harem also I misunderstood. Wanna see his harem but by definition it is forbidden to men

The 60th Macau Grand Prix will be held this November.Those who have cable tv would have seen the promotional ads running on channels like CNN,ESPN etc...Heavily featured on it is the TR2 which came first at the inaugural event in 1954 at the hands of Eduardo de Cavalho.Actually the it was an all TR2 podium as they wiped the floor with the compitition.

Also featured are Senna, Schumacher,Vettel single seaters with which they took part in the Macau GP over the years.

Here's a Youtube link of the ad...

Hi MD,

[MasterDon]

Miss Lumley has been stripped down to her knickers and is being prepped for the final paintjob.

The external cooling fan....

Hi MD,

Hi MD,

What is the difference tween the TR3 and TR3A ??? TR cars have been some what of a obsession of my from the time I can remember I use to sit in my Uncles car which was a TR 2 and pretend to drive it when I was small.

The TR3A has a wider front grille as opposed to the smaller grille of the TR3.And in the rear it has two dedicated turn signals.Girling disk brakes,electric overdrive came as standard for the TR3A.There are hundreds of other subtle differences but those are the most obvious.

Great to see your enthusiasm.Your uncle's car is the red one now with Riley Wanigasekera no?

Any idea where the TR7 is? I recall regularly seeing a white one in the mid 90s.

Hi MD,

It was red when it was with my uncle but the last time I was it at Riley's it was painted white the number was EL cant remember the rest my uncle was Bently Jayasekara.

I have been following your project with so much of interest, happy to see what you have done and I know it has taken a lot of effort from your end, as a lover of the TR car I will say you rock dude,
