It is exactly 40 years ago today that my DHC was first registered. Which, with the current rules here in The Netherlands, means that from now on she’s tax exempt. For the second and hopefully last time, I have to add J.
And what better way to celebrate than with a look back. I already posted a lot of pictures a few years ago of the car in its current guise, to celebrate 30 years of ownership. This prompted me to go in search of some previously unreleased footage of the car as it was at the beginning of my ownership. And pretty much as it left the factory:
Crossing the Mechelderbeek (NL 1989)
On The road from Paarlo to Melick (NL 1989)
Triumph Competitions, Slingerberg Geulle (NL 1990)
Near the Ruins of Bleijenbeek Castle (NL 1990)
In the countryside near Graby, and my first trip with the car to Britain (UK 1990)
Triumph Competitions, Spa-Franchorchamps circuit (B 1993)
Overlooking the valley of the river Gulp near Gulpen (NL 1994)
At the finish of the 6th edition of “De Nachtrit”, Town Hall Vaals (NL 1994)
Returning from a trip to Britain, Channel Tunnel (F 1995)
Touring The Lakes, Eskdale (UK1997)
Touring The Lakes, Wrynose Pass (UK 1997)
And finally a picture of the car taken at the end of last year’s driving season

Bel anniversaire la TR7 que seuls ceux qui la pilote ou l'ont piloter aux fils des années en connaissent sont incroyable plaisir de conduire. Et découvre sa logique parfaite pour l'entretenir comme il se doit. Belles photos et bravo pour la technique de nettoyage des cabochons de clignotant ! Cabochons quasiment très souvent délaissés auX fil des années. Mais qui signent esthétique parfait de la voiture.
