Here's my 1954 Triumph TR2 - early long-door version. Going to miss all the Monterey Car Week events this year, especially the Historics. As you can see, we've been going since at least 2013! Here's to next year's being better than ever!

Hey everybody, quick note:
The main point of the prop is to ensure that the photo was taken specifically for this online event, so that people don’t just use any picture of a car they may or may not still own.
For that reason, we do not recommend using the background as a prop, and we may not consider entries that use the background as a prop as valid if we cannot verify when the photo was taken.
Using an old photo for an entry is not in the spirit of the event, and can be considered cheating.
Acceptable props include souvenirs from past visits to Monterey, Classic Motorsports Magazines or merchandise, any other object that reminds you of Monterey car week (please explain in your post) or even stuffed animals of creatures found in the Monterey area. Feel free to be creative!
Here’s the Monroes’ 64 Falcon on the Laguna Seca corkscrew, followed by Monterey County Sheriff’s finest. The Falcon, GT40p 302 powered, T5 shifted, was on the final lap of Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital’s Cherry’s Jubilee. No, he didn’t pull me over.

Wow, beautiful TR3, great photo, and the way you used your prop is just what we are looking for. Thanks for entering.
In reply to Tim Suddard :
Thanks Tim. It's a beautiful car we love to drive. I drove my daughter to the head of the aisle on her wedding day before escorting down it. That was something that was a priority for her when choosing a wedding venue, and a highlight of the day as well. If you're ever out in SoCal, let me know and I'd be glad to show you the rest of my Triumph stable (TR3A, TR4, 2000 Saloon, 10 Estate Wagon and GT6). And you meant TR2, right?!?! ;-)
In reply to J-Bar-J :
I saw the grille and thought TR3. Looking again it almost looks like a long door TR2.
So, I'm unclear in what would be a good prop. Id love to submit my 70 duster, but having never been to Monterey car week, and being a grm subscriber, im not sure. Howabout i put a fresh grm dork sticker on the car?
