Yeah nice picture - anyone put any names to the faces in the pic?
And what is the supporting article about - the TR7 rally program?

The service team at the start of the 1976 season. Left to right M. Reade, J. West, L. Bowman, W. Burrows (Foreman), W. Price, B. Moylan, G. wiffen, E. Burnell.
And before anyone gets too impressed the photograph is lifted out of Bill Price's fabulous book "The BMC/BL Competitions Department: 25 Years In Motorsport" so I just copied the caption from there. The picture on TR Action has just had colour added to the livery on the car which I think works extremely well.

John the photo by Bill Price is there for a reason. Th article is actually a 5 page in depth interview with Bill - called the "Bill Price Tapes" and is Part one of 3.
Fantastic article with more ace pictures within and some little known information. Also reveals why the special tuning department put the brake servo in the boot!
C'mon now lets not be cynical - credit where its due, in fact its a very wedge heavy issue [:D]

TR Action arrive today and like steve says, more TR7 articles and not all that negative info from the older TR members.
I think that chap with the TR3 should look at the top left hand corner of page 5, if he's looking for retro look.

I wasn't being cynical Wayne... I meant don't be impressed with me stating the names of everyone in the photo as I just looked it up in Bill's book.
Bill's a really nice chap and it's almost worth joining the Register just to read the interviews. I suppose we could have done the same for the TR Driver years ago but it was great to get him on the club stand at Stoneleigh a couple of years back.
