Amici,
Does anyone know this car? I bought it today in St. Louis and know a little=
bit of the history but I=E2=80=99m hoping someone on the list will remembe=
r it and can tell me more.
It was very competitive in SCCA Midwest in the 60s and early 70s. Ran in th=
e American Road Race of Champions (Runoffs) in 1966 at Riverside and again =
in 1969 at Daytona. That was the last year it was held at Daytona before mo=
ving to Road Atlanta. The car DNF=E2=80=99d after 14 laps with the 7th fast=
est lap time. Pretty good for a 14-year-old car. The race and therefore cha=
mpionship was won in 16 laps by the ex-Tim Suddard Group 44 GT6.
Driver/builder/owner was Bill Boemler. No logbook remains. The only other r=
ace I know of was at Garnett in 1972, but obviously it raced a lot more tha=
n these three races that I know of. It=E2=80=99s believed to have stopped r=
acing around that 1972 race and has practically not been touched since. It=
=E2=80=99s in rough shape but is a time capsule for how a car was prepped 5=
0 years ago. The car had the nickname =E2=80=9CThe Flying Bedstead=E2=80=9D=
due to its unique role bar.
Attached is a photo of it at Daytona in 1969 and a photo of it now.
Sidenote 1: The Vin number is the 15th TR3 and was likely made on the first=
day TR3=E2=80=99s went into production.
Sidenote 2: The seller had a Triumph buddy with him today to help unload my=
FP spitfire that was part of the deal, and load up the TR3. That buddy tur=
ned out to be FOT! Jeb from St. Louis with the beautiful white TR6 race car=
, thanks for your help today.
