This Triumph TR250 restoration began in the USA and was completed here at Owen Automotive to get the car up and running.
The TR250 is a relatively rare Triumph that was made only in one year for North America as an interim model between the Tr4 and Tr6. It uses the TR6’s six-cylinder engine, with twin Stromberg carburettors unlike the fuel injected TR5 in Europe.
Many rare pieces were sourced to complete this car including the Surrey targa top and factory-correct steering wheel.
It was photographed right after an extensive wet-sand and polish by Jetstream Custom Auto.
Hosted by Merritt Chisholm for the Jaguar Car Club of Victoria. Over 120 Jaguars present, many for their JCNA rank. Cars from the Canadian XK Jaguar Register, Jaguar Car Club of Victoria, Jaguar Owners Club of Oregon and the Jaguar Drivers and Restorers Club of NWA.
One very special car was offered for sale, that being the California Blue Plate Jaguar E-Type from Michael Pickstone which was completely rust free and came with a very rare hardtop.
Held at the Beacon Hill Park June 10th. Major support from all the clubs in the local area. Below is an original Austin Healey 100M enjoying the cricket match.
Held Saturday May 5th at the VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver, BC. Celebrated Lotus cars, Norton motorbikes an the 50th anniversary of the MGB.
It was also notable for the restoration debut of Colin & Ayreon Fitzgerald’s 1935 Bentley 3½ Litre.
Today the Old English Car Club of BC held their annual Restoration Fair at the Saanich Historical Artifacts Society. We spent considerable time getting the 1967 MGB GT ready for the show which looked spectacular thanks to Victoria Plating and Jetstream Custom Auto who helped the the project.
The day included four seminars, parts for sale and a laid-back park-where-you want car show.
