Just got back from the annual Triumph Day at Duxford. Numbers were well down this year probably as a rather nasty storm had been forecasted for the afternoon. In the end there were few heavy showers and quite a gale but the torrential rain that had been forecasted held off for the show.
Star of the show for me wasn't a car, it was the Naked Spitfire Merlin Engine that was started up and run at full chat several times during the afternoon, what a sound!

The ear defenders are definitely required!

Sounded great, click on the video above!
Anyway, back to the cars!
 |
| Nice Peerless |
 |
Lovely TR5
|
 |
| Good Reg Number for a 72 TR6! |
 |
| The Lightning McQueen themeed Spit/GT6 hybrid always brings a smile to my face |
 |
| This Green Gitfire was even more lurid in the flesh! |
 |
| Lotus Lookie Likey Triumph Kit car was well prepared. |
 |
| Numbers down on previous years due to severe weather being forecasted. |
And as it's an aircraft museum it would be rude not to include some pictures of the museum exhibits.
