Triumphs on display
MORE than 100 classic Triumphs will converge on Warrnambool in October for the annual national rally.
The Triumph Sports Owners Association (TSOA) will host the rally from October 21-28.
It is anticipated the event will attract vehicle enthusiasts from all over Victoria as well as from Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Tasmania and Queensland.
The cars will be on display during a special free ‘show and shine’ event at Lake Pertobe on Sunday October 22 before participants enjoy a light and sound show at Flagstaff Hill later that night.
The rally will also take in scenic drives along the Great Ocean Road, along with trips to Port Fairy, Koroit, Tower Hill and Portland.
Barefoot bowls at Warrnambool City Bowls Club and planned visits to local attractions and eateries is also on the week-long agenda.
In a welcome boon for the district, rally participants will have ample free time to explore the first-rate restaurants and venues in Warrnambool, with the estimated injection of money into the local community expected to exceed $200,000 - a boost to the region’s businesses who have been doing it tough for the last few years.
The theme of this year’s rally is ‘100 years of Triumph Vehicle Manufacturing.’
It also marks the 70th year since the first TR2 sports car was manufactured and its subsequent line of TR sports cars, many examples of which will be on display during the rally.
