I realize this was discussed ab nausea a couple of years ago, but, frankly, I wasn't paying attention. Never thought I'd need it. . ;-) How does the hand brake locking mechanism work? Before anyone j

Ken, the TR2/3 has a "fly off" handbrake. You push the button down to lock the handle. To release it, you pull on the handle and then let go without pushing the button. I really like it, but it is e

All of the Triumph Sports models had the fly off parking brake up to the TR250 / 5. Was that unique to Triumph TRs or to other British models of the era? Lou Metelko Auburn, Indiana /// triumphs@aut

The 4A/5/250/6 also have this "feature". Very embarassing when you go to test drive a new sporty car and almost put your arm through the roof (by combining the force needed to set the 4A brake and pr

Both my 71 Midget and my 59 Bugeye have the traditional hand brake setup -- push button to release. However, until this TR handbrake thread came up several years ago, I was convinced the handbrake in

I believe it was a common feature of British sports cars at the time, useful for "LeMans style" starts where one had to jump in the car, release the brake and take off. I do miss it in my Stag, I ha

Also, I think, used for 'handbrake turns' (later made famous by the Dukes of Hazard?) a move useful in some events popular in the fifties -- can't remember what these events are called. Seems you had
