A trains and Triumphs event is being held at the South Devon Railway's Buckfastleigh station on Sunday.

Starting at 10am, the event is being organised by Peter and Jane Christie from the Devon TR Register and Sue and John Franklin, the Devon area organisers of the Triumph Sports Six Club.

Sue Franklin said: "All Triumph car and motorcycle owners are invited to turn up. There is no fee, no booking just come along and enjoy the company of fellow Triumph enthusiasts.

"This is the second year we have held the event and last year we were delighted when more than 40 cars came along, and we would like to beat that number this year if we can."



Last year's event was supported by local members of the Triumph Sports Six Club, the TR Register, the Stag Owners Club, the Dolomite Club and the 2000 Register, as well as a number of Triumph owners not aligned to any particular club.

"Everyone will be made welcome for a fun day, when you can come and go as you please, and take advantage of a steam day at the South Devon Railway too,," said Ms Franklin.

In addition, members of the Devon Area of the Stag Owners Club will be there from around 10am to 11am taking part in the Round Britain trip of SOCrates, the mascot of the Stag Owners Club, which is undertaking this mammoth relay trip to celebrate the 40th birthday of the Triumph Stag in 2010.

Sorates will be travelling on to Cornwall later in the day, before being handed back to Devon members the following week, for onward transmission on July 3 to Somerset and Dorset members.
