[Fot] Australian GP TR3s

[Shawn Frank]

Here is a tidbit of info for you about the TR3s that were used at the
Australian GP 2014.

There was one Left Hand Drive TR3 in that video. That car
was built by FOT member Chuck McGuire and transported Jean Eric Verne around
the track for the driver parade lap. The car was shipped last year to Chuck's
daughter who lives right outside Melbourne after being restored to perfection
by Chuck "Mr Triumph" McGuire. It is one of six that he has meticulously
restored to better than showroom condition. All of his children and even his
wife all have one now. He is a Triumph mentor of mine. It has already won
awards at a few car shows in Australia, but driving around the track to start
off a Grand Prix... That's awesome!

Thought you all wanted to know. Now watch
that video again. His daughter said that Jean commented on her flipping the OD
switch, but otherwise they were not aloud to converse with the drivers.
