I have the opportunity to acquire two TR10s.  One is a restored driver and the other???
I'd like to build it for vintage racing, BUT I have never seen one built as a road race car; have seen Ausitn A35s but not the Triumph???  Then would have to get one of the vintage associations here in the USA to accept one.  Hoping someone has gone down this road before.
Thanks,  Doug

hello,  Just joined this forum,  I have recently optained a TR 10 HP badly needing to be revise to make it road worthly again .  I'm having a very hard time finding any infromation on this Gem of a Car  If anyboady can give me any advise where to start looking it will be greatly appeciated.  I have all the basic #'s for this car and it was Manufactured by Standard Motor Co. in Coventry, England.

Can't wait to here form someone on this matter.

Hi-- I'm glad someone had gotten back to me so soon.  I'm impressed.

this is what I had obtained:

Trumph 10 Hp

Comm # : TBE4051LDLB

Body #: CB10998  FISHER & LUDLOW

Milage:  43812

and the engine does turn over.  but needs work badly.

This is all I know about this car at the moment.  Where can I find more infro on this Gem.

thanks for your help

Some good general information about the Triumph 10 here, from the VTR site:

http://www.vtr.org/Triumph10/index.shtml

A listing of known 10s in North America, from my own site:

Again, feel free to "PM" me, or contact me through my web site or from the first entry on this page, from the VTR site:

for specific questions.

It wouldn't surprise me if the 43k miles is original. And an engine that turns is often a pretty good sign! BTW, going by the commission number, it's probably a 1958 model, although it might have been titled as a '59. I look forward to hearing more about the car!
