Record breaking Triumph TR2 returns to Jabbeke

On May 20th 1953, on the famous Jabekke Highway in Belgium, Standard Triumph’s new sports car broke the land speed record for a two litre production car. The plucky Triumph TR2, wearing the registration plate MVC575 was driven by test driver Ken Richardson and reached a speed of 124.885 miles per hour.

I have a 58 and two 59 TR3s. An obsession I hope I never lose.
Its good to see others with the same passion. And Kudos to you for finding TR1 and the speed test car and bringing it to its full glory.
The nostalgia can't be beat.

In the words of the late Charles Runyon (and perhaps others), "Glory Still Exists!". For me, side screen ownership since 1968, and I'll never be without one!

At minute 3:29 noticed that the car is fitted with a headrest. The first time I see that on a TR2....
