About the TR Register Australia

 The TR Register Australia formed in 1976 by a group of enthusiasts who identified the need to create a club to ensure that the early TR models, affectionally known as the ‘sidescreens’, could continue to be maintained and driven. Leyland, who had bought Triumph, were disposing of spare parts for these early models so the group imported a range of parts and sold them to members. Although access to spare parts is no longer an issue due to the popularity of these vehicles globally, the Register still maintains a stock of both new and used parts exclusively for members at favourable prices.

The sidescreens are the TR2, TR3, TR3A and TR3B as well as the derivative cars in the period of 1953 to 1962. Although the TR marque has continued through to the TR8 these early cars are the only cars included in our club. To become a member and benefit from what the club offers you must have a sidescreen car or be actively looking to purchase one.

The Register has chapters in all states and territories where members meet for regular drives and events and we currently have over 300 members. There are also regional groups in some states. The club holds an annual concours where the members can choose to enter their cars in any of several judging sections or just attend to display their cars for the day. The prize for annual concours winner is awarded in the Originality Class. The concours is held in a different location each year  and members travel from most states to attend. 

The Sidescreen magazine in produced bi-monthly and contains articles, anecdotes, pictures and technical tips from our members. The website has a Buy & Sell page for members which include cars and parts from members. 

Above all the club offers camaraderie and advice for like minded people who want to enjoy an affordable classis car. Members will assist in repairs and maintenance and we offer on-line sessions to share the knowledge of our experience. We can also assist in purchasing a car as we maintain a database of the TR’s we have encountered in Australia since our inception.
