TR Register - Kennet Valley Group
*

The Kennet Valley Group was started by Ian Avery,who attended the original 1970 meeting, and was a regular of the London group when it met in Weybridge. The first official meeting as the Kennet Valley was at The Butt Inn, Aldermaston in 1971, from these first meetings eventually the Chiltern, Devizes and Wessex Groups were formed. Sadly the Devizes group is no longer but has been replaced more recently by the Glavon,Brunel and Vale of the White Horse groups.

News:-TS2 Baton Challenge. In recognition of the retirement of Ian Evans, Chairman of the TR Register, after seventeen years of service, a relay run with the first ever production TR(pictured adjacent) as baton, was organised. The run included all fifty of the local groups of the TR Register (from Cornwall to the Highlands and Islands), covering nearly 3000 miles and involved over one hundred different drivers.

TS2 – History
Standard Triumph’s very first right-hand drive production TR sports car, hand-assembled at Banner Lane, Coventry in July 1953, with engineering and design by the late Harry Webster and his team. TS2 is not a museum piece: it is owned and maintained as a road-going car by the TR Register, for the membership to enjoy. After a lifetime of varied use including being a dealer's demonstrator, and for rallying and autocross, TS2 was bought by Keith Read, motoring correspondent of the Coventry Evening Telegraph. Mr Read donated the car to the TR Register in 1997, which then began three years of restoration, completed in 2001. Its unique parts and features were meticulously researched and, using period paints and trim, the car was kept as close as possible to the original hand-built vehicle first shown in Dublin in late 1953.
