Rainer Reinhardt Germany
Has contributed to the Aeroscreen club by sending photos of his current road TR as well as his race TR competing across Europe.
The Aeroscreen Club
This “Club” was created in response to a suggestion from Mark Stuckey that since there was a Powder Blue “Club” and a Two Tone “Club” maybe there should also be an “Aeroscreen Club” for those truly intrepid TR pilots who drive (& passenger) the proper way.
Mark Stuckey's Mate'
Secretary Mark Stuckey sent this Aeroscreen Club photo of his mate from the US.
He says: “Some friends just shouldn’t be allowed in one’s car!!” Last seen disappearing into the sunset…
Andrew Gibson TR3A (NSW)
Andrew will provide a more complete summary but suffice it to say that this car has been driven most of its life with aeroscreens only.
Neville Turbit
TR3A (NSW)
Neville has owned this 1959 TR3A since 1977 and has some excellent photographs of an earlier TR he raced at Amaroo Circuit in Sydney
Ivan Powell
TR3 (SA)
Ivan and his co-pilot David Stephens travelled all the way from South Australia and back again (5,000 kms – 3100 miles) behind aeroscreens. A pretty fair effort from both of them – see the Full Story.
Whilst Ivan didn’t come up with the idea of the Aeroscreen Club, his photo did suggest the concept to Mark Stuckey, another founding member (see below).
Mark Stuckey
TR3A (NSW)
Mark has submitted a couple of photos and will follow-up with his aeroscreen story.
Carroll & Howard Prior
TR3A (QLD)
“I love to drive with the aeros on and I think it makes the car look much better! We don’t do it all the time, but Carroll is happy with it and we recently drove to Teds Davis’s funeral behind the aeroscreen despite the threat of rain.” Howard Prior
Bill Revill
TR3A (NSW)
“…the look…..? Personal preference of course, but I’ve always just loved the appearance of the TRs with aeroscreens. Again it adds to the 30’s style and to the distinctive looks and feel of the car.
And the comfort…? Terrible of course! But it’s not as rough or as windblown as you may think. If you want comfort, get the modern car out of the garage…!” Bill Revill
Peter Ruta
TR3A (SA)
“My TR3A wearing aero screens. I have had this car since 1984 and it mostly has the aeros on.” Peter Ruta
David Thomson
TR3A (ACT)
“I am quite attatched to the Blue Car having owned it for 35 years. It lived up the street from me in Parhan Melbourne when I was in my late teens. The young owner took me for a spin around what is now the Albert Park F1 track and we did the “Imperial Ton” down the back straight. Very impressed needless to say.” David Thomson
I can attest to David always driving his car with aeroscreens – having never seen him with the windscreen on! – webmanager (Rick)
Mick Sullivan's
TR3 (TAS)
This is Mick Sullivan’s TR3 (Tassie) nearing completion – clearly also a candidate for the Aeroscreen Club
