Sorry to bomb the lists with this query but as many enthusiasts know, 2003 sees the 50th Anniversary of the TR2. It is also the Centenary of The Standard Motor Company and May 2003 sees, among other things, a mass migration of enthusiasts to Jabbeke in Belgium to commemmorate Ken Richardson's epic run. This promises to be a major event wit many European enthusiasts in attendance. The following weekend is a major celebration for Standard & Triumph ethusiasts at Gaydon. I understand some plans have been laid in which a number of US enthusiasts will be coming over to UK and Europe (with and without cars) to take part. Does anyone know someone who is coming - or roughly how many? So far, I've been unable to determine who might be organising this visit Stateside or the programme that has been set out. I suspect the TR Register may have some involvement through Standard-Triumph Forum in the UK. For the record, if any lister can provide input, I'm planning to offer a Road Run (date as yet not firmed but around te same time) restricted only to Standard and Triumph cars. This is part of a much larger collector car activities schedule I've been working on for the last five months for which web details will soon appear. The event I have in mind to coincide with tese celebrations will take in all the Test Hills used by Coventry car makers in the 1920/30's in some outstanding country close to Coventry. Anyone bringing over a car who would like to take part in tracing a genuine factory test route can contact me off list. Additionally, anyone planning to visit without a car who would still like to join the Run can hire a selection of Triumphs from an associate - the choice is TR4A, TR6PI, TR7 and a Stag. If those prove to be fully booked, tere's an E Type fHC, MGB roadster and an MGRV8. Sorry, if there are slightly commercial overtones here but they are only limited to meeting cost recovery in setting up the event. Off list replies awaited with considerable interest
