Triumph TR2

The **Triumph TR2** (TRiumph 2 litre sports) wis built atween 1953 an 1955 bi the Standard Motor Company in the Unitit Kinrick, during which time 8,636 caurs wur produced. The DVLA revealed in 2002 that anerlie 517 examples o this caur remain on UK roads.

The caur uised a twin SU carburetor version o the 1991 cc fower cylinder Standard Vanguard ingine tuned tae increase its ootput tae 90&nbsp;bhp (67&nbsp;kW).

The body wis mountit on a substantial separate chassis wi coil-sprung independent suspension at the front an a leaf spring live axle at the rear. Either wire or disc wheels coud be supplied. The standard transmission wis a fower speed manual unit but overdrive wis available on top gear as an option. Lockheed drum brakes wur fittit all roond.

## Performance data
A caur wi overdrive testit bi The Motor magazine in 1954 haed a top speed o 107.3&nbsp;mph (172.7&nbsp;km/h) an coud accelerate frae 0-60&nbsp;mph (97&nbsp;km/h) in 12.0 seconds. A fuel consumption o 34.5 mile per imperial gallon (8.19 L/100&nbsp;km; 28.7 mpg-US) wis recordit. The test caur cost £900 including taxes. The overdrive option haed added £56 tae the total.

They also commentit that it wis the lawest price Breetish caur tae be able tae exceed 100&nbsp;mph (160&nbsp;km/h).

## Awners

*Chris Barrie, maist famous for his role as 'Rimmer' in the cult TV series *[[Red Dwarf]]* awns a TR2.
*Breetish virtuoso horn player Dennis Brain wis killed at the age o 36 in an accident near Barnet in a TR2.
Westfield SEight

The **SEiGHT** (pronounced variously as S-8 or 'Sayt') is a sports caur manufactured as a kit or factory biggit vehicle bi Westfield Sportscars. It is based on the familiar Lotus Seven concept, creatit bi Colin Chapman, whase design philosophy wis tae strip a caur design doun tae bare essentials for the ultimate in drivin experiences. Bar a few visual differences, lik a bonnet bulge tae house the lairge ingine, it uises the same widebody chassis as the smawer ingined SEi. All SEiGHTs ar defined as such bi the pouerplant - a V8 ingine.  In kit form they ar ae available frae the factory as a rollin chassis, unlike ither Westfield kits whilk can be bought in component form.

## Pouerplant
The Rover V8 ingine pouerplant o the SEiGHT ranges frae 3.5 litre units originally sourced frae the Rover SD1 tae bored an stroked 5.2 litre units. There ar also 3.9 fuel injectit versions, whilk ar currently providit in the factory biggit vehicles an TVR Pouer ingines of 4.2 litres. On the whole the V8 is a Rover unit, an alloy block whilk is lichter than the cast iron blocks o mony V8s. Ane example haes been biggit aroond an alloy version o the Chevrolet sma block wi a displacement o 6.6 litres.

Triumph TR5

The **Triumph TR5** wis biggit for a 13&nbsp;month period atween August 1967 an September 1968 bi the Triumph Motor Company in Coventry, Unitit Kinrick.

Visually identical tae the Michelotti styled TR4, the TR5 hid the main differences unner the body, an the maist significant o thir wis the ingine.  The TR5 boastit a 2.5 litre straucht 6 fuel injectit ingine developin aroond 150&nbsp;bhp (112&nbsp;kW.  This ingine wis carried forrit tae the TR6.

At the time, fuel injection (or PI petrol injection, as it wis whiles cried back then) wis uncommon in road caurs.  Sae muckle sae that Triumph claimed in thair sales brochure that it wis the "First Breetish production sports caur wi petrol injection - PI".  This ingine coud propel the TR5 frae 0 tae 50&nbsp;mph (80&nbsp;km/h)  in juist 6.5&nbsp;seconds, an on tae a tap speed o 125&nbsp;mph (201&nbsp;km/h).  Road tests at the time got slichtly different performance figures:




Standard equipment includit front disc brakes, independent rear suspension, rack an pinion steering an a fower speed gearbox.  The available optional extras includit overdrive, wire wheels an a haurd tap wi detachable ruif panel - kent as the 'Surrey Tap'.

In 1968, the basic price o the TR5 in the UK wis £1,260 includin taxes, wi wire wheels bein anither £38, owerdrive £60 an a tonneau civer anither £13.

The TR5 wis produced in sma nummers when compared wi the later TR6, wi juist 2,947 units produced - the first caur bein assembled on 29 August 1967 an the last on 19 September 1968. O thir, 1,161 wur destined for the UK mercat, the remainder bein LHD TR5s an goin tae Fraunce, Belgium an Germany amangst ithers. In a seemilar period 8,484 TR250s wur biggit for the U.S mercat. At the end o 2007, thare wur approximately 500 TR5s registered in the UK wi the DVLA.

The TR250, biggit durin the same period for the North American mercat, wis nearly identical tae the TR5.  But, acause o price pressures an emission regulations the TR250 wis fittit wi twin Zenith-Stromberg carburettors rather than the Lucas fuel injection seestem, an teuk 10.6&nbsp;seconds tae get tae 60&nbsp;mph (97&nbsp;km/h) .

A curious featur o the TR5/Lucas petrol injection seestem wis the very frequent occurrence o an intermittent pouer failure when the fuel tank wis nae mair nor a quarter full. In order tae provide fresh fuel at the distributor, free frae owerheatin/soak, unuised fuel wis returned back tae the tank whaur it entered very close tae the heich pressure fuel pump. When the fuel level fell ablo critical (aboot 3 gallons), sloshing wad cause the pump tae pick up a slichtly aerated mixture which wis sent tae the fuel distributor. Unused fuel (still aerated) then passed back tae the tank an wis discharged close tae the pump, a proportion o it bein picked up an recycled tae the distributor. As this cycle wis repeated, gradually the volume o air in the pumped fuel reached a level whaur it began tae affect the running o the ingine. Adding as little as ane gallon tae the tank seemed tae cure the problem which did nae manifest itself on the similarly engined contemporary saloon.
Triumph TR4A

The **Triumph TR4A** wis biggit atween 1965 an 1968 bi the Triumph Motor Company in the Unitit Kinrick.

The TR4A wis an evolution o the TR4, updatit wi a new chassis. It wis hoped the new, but mair complex independent rear suspension wad address the buyin publics' desire for mair comfortable ridin sports caurs. This version haes an "IRS" badge on the rear. It's estimatit 75% o TR4A wur biggit wi IRS. In 1965, the TR4A IRS sauld in the Unitit Kinrick for approximately £968, wi wire wheels bein anither £36, owerdrive £51, heater £13 an seat belts £4 each. In the Unitit States the model sauld for juist unner $2500 an accessory prices includit: heater, $64; seat belts, $17; A.M. radio; $?; toneau civer, $35, W/S washer; $10. ootside mirror;$5.50 an battery box; $5.95

In response tae dealer requests, approximately 25% o TR4As wur produced wi a solit rear axle option (cried a live axle an aw), seemilar tae the earlier TR4. The TR4A wis the first vehicle tae ever offer an option for axle type.

The new suspension eventually proved itself wi the buyin public an in racin, wi three TR4A IRS models postin a team win an finishin 1st, 2nt an 3rd in cless at the Sebring 12-oor race o 1966. Albeit nou the live axle is superior in racin due tae its muckle better pouer tae wecht ratio, bestin the TR6 an aw.

In 1968 the TR4A wis replaced bi the 6-cylinder TR5 (European model wi fuel injection) an TR250 (U.S. model wi twin carburetors), baith o which continued tae uise the same body design.

## Specifications
Ingine: 2138 cc, 4 cylinder, 86&nbsp;mm bore, 92&nbsp;mm stroke, 9:1 compression ratio, 104&nbsp;bhp (78&nbsp;kW). The lang stroke gie this ingine muckle o its torque.

Triumph TR4

The **Triumph TR4** wis a sports caur biggit in the Unitit Kinrick bi the Standard Triumph Motor Company an introduced in 1961.  Code named "Zest" durin development, the caur wis based on the chassis an drivetrain o the previous TR sports caus, but wi a modern Michelotti styled body. 40,253 caus wur biggit durin production years. The TR4 proved vera successful an continued the rugged, "hairy-chested" image that the previous TRs haed enjoyed.
Triumph TR3A

The **Triumph TR3A** is a sports caur an wis biggit atween 1957 an 1962 bi the Triumph Motor Company in the Unitit Kinrick.

The TR3A wis a minor update frae the TR3.  The updates includit the new wide front grill, exterior door haundles, lockable buit haundle an came wi a full tuil kit is standard (this wis an option on the TR3).

The tot production run o the TR3A wis 58,236.  This maks it the third best sellin TR efter the TR6 an TR7.  It is estimatit that ae 9,500 o the oreeginal 58,000 biggit survive in the warld the day.

The Triumph TR3 wis the first production caur tae include standard disc brakes, which wur continued on the TR3A.  The caur wis kent for its superior brakin ability, makin it an autocross favourite.

The TR3A is aften seen in Vintage an Production racin the day.  The TR3A, despite bein almaist 50 year auld, is still competitive in the E-Production cless o SCCA (Sports Car Club of America).

In Juin 1977, Road & Track magazine published an airticle titled "Driving Impressions: TR3A & TR250" in its 30t anniversary issue. It published a 0-60 time o 12.0 seconds, pouer ootput o 100&nbsp;bhp (75&nbsp;kW) at 4800 rpm, observed curb wecht o 2,090&nbsp;lb (948&nbsp;kg) an fuel consumption o 28 mile per imperial gallon (10 L/100&nbsp;km; 23 mpg-US).
Triumph TR1

Ae ane example o this caur wis ever made bi Triumph.  The **Triumph TR1** prototype wis unveiled in October 1952 at the Lunnon Motor Show. The TR1 name wis never offeecially uised.  

The caur wis built uisin existin components wi an ingine frae a Standard Vanguard, suspension fr the Triumph Mayflower an a chassis frae the pre war Standard Flying Nine. Problems arose when the caur came tae be driven as it wis a poor handler, haed a top speed o barely 80&nbsp;mph an wis an overall disappointment tae its early viewers, ane o whom, Ken Richardson o BRM, described it as a 'daith-trap.'

The caur, which never went intae production, wis wi'drawn, an the designs taken back tae the drawin board, an a year later the new improved Triumph TR2 wis unveiled.

It is unkent whether the original prototype exists today.

Triumph TR3

The **Triumph TR3** wis a caur biggit atween 1955 an 1957 bi Standard-Triumph in the Unitit Kinrick, durin which time 13,377 caurs wur produced, o which 1286 wur sauld wi'in the UK while the rest wur exportit mainly tae the USA. As o 2002 thare wur anerlie 893 registered TR3/3a's on UK roads.

Awtho the caur wis uisually supplied as an open twa seater, an occasional rear seat an bolt on steel haurd tap wur available as extras.

The caur wis pouered bi a 1991&nbsp;cc straight-4 OHV ingine which initially produced 95&nbsp;hp (71&nbsp;kW, 96 PS) increasin tae 100&nbsp;bhp at 5000 rpm. The fower speed manual transmission coud be supplementit bi an owerdrive unit on the tap three ratios electrically operatit an controlled bi a switch on the dash. In 1956 the front brakes changed frae drum tae disc becomin the first Breetish series production caur tae be sae fittit..

In 1957, it wis replaced bi an updatit version, the TR3A.

Morris Motor Company

The **Morris Motor Company** wis a Breetish caur manufacturin company. Efter the incorporation o the company intae lairger corporations, the Morris name remained in uise as a marque till 1984 whan British Leyland's Austin Rover Group decidit tae concentrate on the mair popular Austin marque.
Leyland P76

The **Leyland P76** is a lairge caur that wis produced bi Leyland Australie, the Australien subsidiary o British Leyland. Featuring what wis described at the time as the "standard Australian wheelbase o 111 inches", it wis intendit tae provide the company wi a genuine rival tae lairge local models like the Ford Falcon, the Holden Kingswood, an the Chrysler Valiant.

Launched in 1973, the P76 wis nicknamed "the wedge", on accoont o its shape, wi a lairge boot, able tae easily hold a 44 gallon drum. Although station wagon an "Force 7" coupé versions wur designed, these niver went intae mass production.

## Namin the P76
The name o the P76 derived frae the caur's codename while in development (Project 76). The offeecial line wis that the P76 wis an original Australien designed an built Lairge Family Caur, with nae overseas counterpart an that P76 stood for "Project 1976". Motorin writer Tom Davis suggests that the project number came frae the back o Leyland chief Lord Stokes' watch which he read durin a business meetin.

The Rover SD1 (released in 1976) shared several ingineerin features wi the P76 &mdash; includin MacPherson strut front suspension, the aluminium V8 ingine an a live rear axle.

Rover P5

The **Rover P5** series (commonly cried **3-Litre** an **3½ Litre** for the ingine displacement) wis a group o lairge (in European terms) saloon an coupé automobiles produced frae 1958 till 1973. It wis a muckle lairger caur than the P4 which in some respects it replaced.

Whiles cried "the poor man's Rolls-Royce", the P5 wis extremely popular wi Unitit Kinrick Prime Meenisters  an govrenment officials o its day.  Even the Queen is said tae hae favoured drivin her P5.
Rover P4

The **Rover P4** series wis a group o saloon automobiles produced frae 1949 through tae 1964 designed bi Gordon Bashford.  Alang wi the later Rover P5, it wis replaced bi the far more modern Rover P6.  All P4s wur 4-door saloons wi seatin for fower. The P4 designation is factory terminology for the group o caurs an wis no in day-tae-day uise bi ordinary awners, who woud hae said simply that they haed a "Rover 90" an so on. 

The P4 wis also the basis o the short lived Marauder caur.
Rover P3

The **Rover P3** caur produced bi the Rover company in 1948 an 1949 wis very muckle an interim model.

For the post war mercat Rover haed a new ingine that haed been in preparation syne the late 1930s wi owerhead inlet an side exhaust valves. It wis made in twa version for the caur, the "60" haed a fower cylinder unit o 1595&nbsp;cc an the "75" haed a sax cylinder version o 2103&nbsp;cc. The gearbox an traditional Rover freewheel wur kept unchanged frae the previous model.

Tae go wi the ingine a new caur wis prepared. Awtho the body wis seemilar in stylin tae the Rover 12 an 16, mony o the body panels wur in fact new but the wings an bonnet frae the 12 wur carried ower. The caur wis 0.5&nbsp;inch (12&nbsp;mm) wider ootside than the 16 but bi makin better uise o space this translatit tae 2.5&nbsp;inches (60&nbsp;mm) inside. It wis 4.5&nbsp;inches (115&nbsp;mm) shorter in the wheelbase. An aa new, an a first for a Rover, wis independent front suspension but the brakes remained a hydraulic/mechanical hybrid seestem. Rather than haein a complete chassis, the new frame, which wis a box section, wis stopped short o the rear axle an the rear semi-elliptic springs wur attached tae the body. This allowed the rear axle traivel tae be increased an an improved ride resulted.

Twa body styles wur available, a sax licht saloon an fower licht "Sports Saloon".

The caurs wur expensive at £1080 for the "60" an £1106 for the "75" an wi early post war production problems an material shortages it wis never intendit that the caurs wad be produced in lairge nummers. Eventually, 1274 o the "60" an 7837 o the "75" models wur made afore the caur wis replaced bi the aw new P4 o 1949.

The ingine an gearbox frae the caur wur an aa uised as the basis for those in the oreeginal Land Rover Series.

Ford Pinto

The **Ford Pinto** debuted as a compact caur bi the Ford Motor Company on September 11, 1970, derivin its name frae the Pinto horse an competin in the nascent Unitit States sma caur mercat frae 1971-1980.

Initially offered as a twa-door coupe, Ford ultimately offered the Pinto in coupe, wagon, an hatchback models tae compete wi the AMC Gremlin an Chevrolet Vega, alang wi importit models frae Volkswagen, Datsun, Toyota an ither manufacturers. Bi Januar 1971, the Pinto haed sauld ower 100,000 units. In its last model year, Ford biggit 68,179 units.

A rebadged variant, the *Bobcat*, debuted in 1974 in Canadae an in Mairch 1975 in the US. The Pinto an the smawer Ford Fiesta wur ultimately replaced bi the front-wheel-drive Ford Escort.

The Pinto's legacy wis affected bi controversy surroondin the safety o its gas tank design, Ford's 1978 recall o the caur, an a later study concludin the Pinto wis as safe or safer than ither caurs in its class.

Moskvitch 2142

The **Moskvitch 2142** wis a line o caurs produced bi AZLK's Moskvitch division frae 1998−2002.

Three versions o the 2142 wur marketit: the Knjaz Vladimir, Ivan Kalita, an the Duet, that wis introduced several years later. The Knjaz Vladimir wis less expensive nor the mair upscale Ivan Kalita, baith saloons. The Duet wis a muckle smawer twa-door coupé based on the bodyshell o the Knjaz Vladimir an Ivan Kalita. A few years efter the launch o the Duet, it wis replaced wi the Duet II, featurin a revised front end.

Aw 2142 models wur fitted wi Renault ingines. Whan Moskvitch filed for bankruptcy in 2002, production o aw models ceased, an the factory wis left abandoned.

Moskvitch 401

**Moskvitch 401** wis a caur frae Moskvitch introduced in 1945. It is based on the Opel Kadett K38 (1937–1940). Efter Warld War II the Soviet Union brocht the entire Opel factory wi them loadit on 56 railwey wagons. Thay even brocht the toilets for the workers wi them. Startin in 1948 it wis exportit forby.

It wechts 880&nbsp;kg an is pouered bi a 1074 cc sidevalve inline-4 givin 26&nbsp;hp (19&nbsp;kW) an a tap speed o 90&nbsp;km/h (56&nbsp;mph). Production endit in 1956 when it wis replaced bi Moskvitch 402.
Moskvitch

**Moskvitch** or **Moskvich** (also written as *Moskvich*, *Moskvič*, or *Moskwitsch*) wis an automobile brand frae Roushie produced bi AZLK frae 1945 tae 1991 an bi **OAO Moskvitch** frae 1991 tae 2002.

*OAO Moskvitch* wis a privatized ventur name gien tae the umwhile factory in order tae avoid legal issues efter the faw o the Soviet Union in 1991. Syne the factory haed nae assembly branches ootside Roushie efter 1991, its name is lairgely uised the day tae refer tae the buildin locatit in Lawer Eastren pairt o Moscow an abandoned syne 2006.

The wird *moskvitch* (Roushie:москвич) itself translates as "(a) Muscovite" intae Inglis. It wis uised tae pynt oot the oreeginal location o the caurs manufactured ootside o Moscow.

Daewoo Espero

The **Daewoo Espero** (kent as **Daewoo Aranos** in some Spainyie-speakin kintras an aw) is a mid-size cuar produced bi the Sooth Korean company Daewoo Motors frae 1990 tae 1997. It wis technically based on the GM J platform an haed the distinction o a body designed bi Bertone. It bore mair nor a passin resemblance tae the Citroën Xantia, itself a Bertone design an aw. The caur wis equipped wi Holden-biggit GM Family 1 1.5&nbsp;L ingine, or the 1.8 or 2.0&nbsp;L Family II ingine. The Espero wis replaced bi the Daewoo Leganza in 1997.

The Espero wis renamed Aranos in some but no aw Spainyie-speakin kintras (no in Chile for instance), syne the wird *Espero* means *I wait* in Spainyie. Sic a name wis deemed less nor marketable.

In Australie it wis sauld frae 1995 tae 1996 afore it wis replaced in 1997 bi the Leganza. It wis pouered bi the 2.0 litre GM Family II ingine an wis available wi aither a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.

Saunt Marinus

**Saunt Marinus** wis the foonder o the warld's auldest survivin republic, San Marino, in 301. Tradeetion holds that he wis a stonemason bi tred who came frae the island o Rab on the ither side o the Adriatic Sea (modren Croatie), fleein persecution for his Christian beliefs in the Diocletianic Persecution. He became a Deacon, an wis ordained bi St. Gaudentius, Bishop o Rimini, till he wis accuised bi an insane woman o bein her estranged husband, when he fled tae Monte Titano tae live as a hermit. Thare he biggit a chapel an monastery. Marinus wis canonised an later, the State o San Marino grew up frae the centre creatit bi the monastery. His memorial day is 3 September, commemoratin the day o the year when he foondit San Marino, which is an aa San Marino's naitional holiday.

Accordin tae legend, he dee'd in the Winter o 366 an his last words wur: "*Relinquo vos liberos ab utroque homine*." ("I leave ye free frae baith men"). This somewha mysterious phrase is maist likely tae refer tae the twa "men" frae whose oppressive pouer Saunt Marinus haed decidit tae separate himsel, becomin a hermit on Moont Titano: respectively the Emperor an the Pape. This affirmation o freedom (first an foremaist fiscal franchise) frae baith the State an the Kirk, houever legendary, haes always been the inspiration o the tiny republic.
