I am fully aware of this car, and its owners as it turns out.

I had a good look at it over the Christmas holidays as its local to me.

There is nothing untoward about this car, and the story about its history is 100% spot on.

Not all Triumph prototypes had X prefix commission numbers, thats a common missconception.
A good proportion of cars that escaped as rolling shells lost their factory identity in the process, this was one of them. It was nothing to do with tax reasons, as cars prior to this, and subsequently got sold on with full Triumph paperwork retaining their experimental identity.

The only remaining 'prototype'ness' evident on this car are the louvers on the bonnet, and a few lumps and bumps in the inner wing. Everything else about this car is pure October 1973 standard specification 2000 (apart from the MK1 engine and box from the donor 1967 car).

If you go and look at it dont lean to hard on the drivers side front wing!

Cheers
Dave

.

it could'nt of been a tr7 test bed in 1967 though.

Oh I don't know about that.

A good freind if mines 1966 race budget was 'fiddled' from the slant 4 engine development costs.

It was nothing to do with the TR7 at that time though, more to do with Saab.

When bureaucracy takes over from common sense, and in the interest of fairness, I wouldn't have had any issue with that at all Bill!!!!
