Model Forum / General / Models / December 2006P-51D/GT-350(?) ad
I have a recollection of what I think may have been a series of ads or set-up photos with aircraft and matched autos. The one I remember was an immaculate P-51D posed with a Ford Mustang, possibly a Shelby GT350. It might have been a Ford ad, a Shelby ad, or just some photographer's idea of fun. And there might have been others. Anyone remember this/these, and know where they were published? Or a way to see online? Now with the Trumpeter 1:24 P-51D a diorama suggests itself . Ken D. . I remember the ad - will do some digging & see if I still have it - I remember it really looked good...  Signature"There are no great men.

The Triumph TRs were distinctly different cars, from the TR-2 to the TR-7/8. Some of them were produced alongside the Spitfire, but the two only ever shared some running gear parts and very minor trim items. Not bodies. -- C.R.

I don't recall them ever having names. AFAIK, they were just known by their numbers. I 'think' the TR4A was an improvement on the original TR4. Also, they put out a GT6 which was, from the outside, a Spitfire with a fastback coupe roof. I know little about the innards. There was a 1/25th GT6 kit available from Pyro, and maybe Lindberg too.

It was wrecked so I'm not likely to be able to ask the new owner either. I have no idea what he hit but it must have been tough as those things had thick skins.

Indeed, all the early Triumphs - TR-2, TR-3, TR-3A - had a headlight arrangement which was very similar to the early AH Sprites and could properly be termed "bug-eyed". Although, by convention the term is usually reserved for the Sprites to distinguish them from the later, more conventionally styled Sprites which were MG Midget clones. When Triumph went to a more conventional arrangement, they changed the model designation to TR-4, unlike the Sprites which kept the same name when it changed body style. Thus "bug-eyed" was used to distinguish the earlier Sprites from the later models of the same name while the distinction was unnecessary with the Triumphs as ALL TR-3s and TR-3As were "bug-eyed" and ALL TR-4s were not.

OK; I'll grant that the early TR-1/2/3 series had kinda' froggy eyes. But there were very different cars from the Sprite in a couple of real obvious ways. The Sprite body had all the style of a bar of soap. Straight, flat, slightly rounded sides. And they were tiny in all respects. The TR-series were bigger and they had some styling touches that the size of the Sprite probably couldn't handle. Front and rear fenders swooped up over the wheels and down toward the back both on the bodysides (to about the middle of the rear fender) and on the rear fenders, to low taillights. The doors were also cut down from front to rear to match the fender sweep angle. They are unmistakeable from the side, especially compared to a Sprite. Hope that helps. -- C.R.

Aurora did a 1963 Triumph Spitfire in 1/32 - as well as a lot of other British "sporty cars" of that era - TR 3, MG TD etc. I've no idea how "good" they might have been.

Nope - sorry, e. The Mercedes SSK was a sportscar. Designed by Herr Doktor Porsche, no less. The G35 was the 6 wheeler. And somehow, I really doubt if Alessandra ever even saw Benito's old one. Oh, and Triumph never used the "Tr" designation on Spitfires. The Tr-2, Tr-3, Tr-4, Tr-5(Tr-250 in the States) Tr-6, Tr-7 & Tr-8 were a couple of different lines of sportscars.....the Spitfire never had a "Tr" number, that I'm aware of. The hardtop/fastback version was known as the GT-6, however. -Kevin in Indy >>>> >Now all we need is a 1/24th F-86D and all the '56 Chrysler lineup... >>>> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >-Kevin in Indy she has a long standing lawsuit with the gov. she alleges that hitler gave it to grandpa and not the state and she should have it. they do take care of it. i have often heard of american imported in triumph cars as various tr. lots of confusion with the bikes as tere are many tr there. i have a tr6r. sinfle carb 650cc engine. most people bought the bonneville which had 2 carbs. there was only a 4 hp difference and the single is MUCH easier to keep tuned and happy. and now they are the rarer and command typically 3,000 bucks more for a concourse resto than the bonnie. i have a bonnie also, in boxes. once i got the one carb running, my motivation for the bonnie slowed. i may just sell it. there is much confusion about triumph models and numbers. i do have a book that sort of explains, but it to is fuzzy. alessandra was quite a looker in the 80's. saw her almost naked in some political publication. didn't she run for office? there is just one grandaughter, yes? > she has a long standing lawsuit with the gov. she alleges > that hitler gave it to grandpa and not the state and she > should have it. they do take care of it.

I have some poor quality, low-res pics that are not "almost" naked, they are the "Full Monty" as it were. Scrounged 'em off some newsgroup must be 10 years ago or something.
