History

Raced successfully in USA by group 44 and was purchased by Leyland Australia to race here to coincide with the release of the TR7 in Australia. It was sponsored by Playboy and thus painted black and was driven successfully by Bill Evans who had previously been a Bathurst campaigner. It won the under 2 Litre class that year(1978). It was then sold to its present owner in 1979 and has raced consistently up until 1998. It may be noted that the original motor/gearbox/and differential unit were replaced in 1977 with a 16 valve engine, 5 speed cr gearbox and larger rear end, thus the original units are low mileage and have been rebuilt before conversion back to original specs. More info can be found in the September 1977 issue of Road & Track magizine or the Vintage Triumph register Website.
