Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page
Again I’m going to attempt the drive round Britain in my 36
year old Triumph Spitfire.
This time my co-driver ( he does not know what he’s signed up to ) will be my good friend and old work shift mate Chris Hill .
The Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run is a
fantastic event, its gruelling and tiring, but also great fun. The idea behind the event being to drive 2000 miles continually from Knebworth House Hertfordshire to John O'Groats to Land's End then back to Knebworth.
The 2016 RBRR will be the 25th in the series that started in
1966; it was then run in 1969, 1971, and 1974, then being run every two years.
1973 was missed out owing to the fuel crisis of that year. It is considered to
be one of the longest standing one make car events held in the world and has
earned plaudits throughout the old car motoring world. Interesting fact, when
first run in 1966, the cars were all new vehicles, now the minimum age is 31
years!
Since 1990 the event has had a charitable basis and has
raised over £510,000.00 for various UK charities, last time in 2014 the event
raised £59,500.00 for Macmillan Cancer Support. For this time, Club Triumph
wishes to raise a sum of over £60.000, however it would be great to raise
£90,000.00 and therefore push the grand total of raising over £600.000! Please
