Hi all,
New to the forum, been following speedway since I was a young fella. Took the plunge at the beginning of this year and purchased my first car and now I'm trying to track down any info, photos and stories/memories people have of this car as it seems to be known by a few.
It's a TR8 saloon with a 4.4L Leyland V8. What I know of it so far is that it's a Kuriger frame that was then built up by Jumbo Berryman. It passed through a few hands after Jumbo had it including Craig Korff (8s), Hooper motorsport (26s/12s), Jabin Clapperton (9p) then supposedly disappeared. I purchased it of a fella in Tauranga and have been working on it as a project to get back on the track, needed a new steering rack and a a few other bits done to it.
I've got a few photos of it through its career so far, I believe it was also raced by Blondie Chamberlain a couple times. Be interested to hear people's stories or see some pictures anyone has of it through the years!! The plan is, if it is indeed Jumbos TR8, to put it back on the track in its original Yellow colour and body style as a nod to the man himself and hopefully I can do it some justice behind the wheel.
Cheers!
