Drive your Triumph to celebrate Sir John Black's birthday.

The idea was developed by Rye Livingston of the Triumph Travelers Sports Car Club in Northern California, which is celebrating its 62^nd anniversary.

As you may remember a number of years ago, he encouraged members of the clubs to drive their Triumphs on February 10th, to celebrate Sir John Black's Birthday, the man who organized Standard's purchase of Triumph after the war, and went on to make the cars we enjoy driving today.

Last year about 350 photos were received from all over the world: Scotland, Ireland, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Uruguay, Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Canada, Holland, Czech Republic, and of course all over the USA.  I’m hoping we can increase that number this year!

The concept is straightforward. On Wednesday, February 10th, go for a drive in your Triumph.  Take a scenic drive on a country road or out to lunch, to the market, to work, wherever. Go for a drive alone or in a big group from your local Triumph Club. Take your spouse, buddy, child, grandchild or your dog; then take a photo. The photo is mainly of the car, and the owner if possible, ideally in front of a cool spot, landmark, scenic view or in your driveway. If it’s the middle of the winter where you live and your car is in hibernation, or in the middle of a restoration, take a photo of it anyway. 

Next step is to email a high-resolution photo to This email address is being protected from spambots.

The photos will then be published not only in our club newsletter, but also in USA’s national magazine: Vintage Triumph Registry, and on the Drive Your Triumph Day website: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://driveyourtriumphday.shutterfly.com/&source=gmail&ust=1606182118753000&usg=AOvVaw3Hgra4iijZt8nqUWepPjGk">https://driveyourtriumphday.shutterfly.com
