Classic Car Outings 2026

We had a great turn out for TSSC Norfolk’s New Year Brunch Run. Despite snow, especially on the Norfolk coast, stopping several members from attending and others choosing their moderns, we still managed a good turnout of 17 Triumphs along with a Standard and MG.

There was a short run, starting from Attleborough, along frosty country roads, including a quick dip in a ford, and ending at Forncett Steam Museum, where the Triumphs parked up together. The museum did a great job accommodating 55 of us with some lovely soup, bacon rolls, tea and cake, along with a guided tour (in two groups due to the number attending). All this whilst supporting the museum, which is run by volunteers and purely from donations, raising £550 for hosting us for the day – everyone’s a winner!

With the Triumph 2500 estate Polybushed all round a good drive out seemed to be in order and the TSSC AGM seemed like the ideal opportunity.

She ran like a dream, its great to be able to cruise at 60mph in reasonable comfort. Saturday saw haveing a quick look at Foxton Locks and then is staying in a Premier Inn, Market Harborough, and meeting up with a few fellow AOs before attending the AGM on the Sunday. Hoping that the estyate will make it down to Cornwall for the 2000 Register National, but happy the way she is at the moment.

Originally started during Covid as a way of getting Triumphs out for a drive but without mixing in groups, and now in its fifth year, TSSC Norfolk Drive It Day Scatter Treasure Hunt keeps growing in popularity.

The hunt started between 10 and 10.30 with a choice of eight locations to choose from. The rest of the stops could be done in any order. Each stop had 3–5 questions with points given for correct answers. Although the big scores were from taking photos of other Triumphs out and about.

Our lunchtime stop this year was at Whitwell and Reepham Station where we had 22 Triumphs parked up at various times, plus a Rover and MG. Other stops included County School Station, a church ruins and Bug park.

(Both the Heralds in the main photo have the Vitesse engine, note the different ways to making it fit with the Herald bonnet, the most common way is to cut the grill so it can go infront of the bonnet, versus the bonnet extension on my Herald).

The threatened rain never materialised (hence the decision to take the estate), and we managed to have a great day wandering around and sitting by our cars and having a good natter. Thanks again to Tim for organising for us.
