"The Triumph Car Club of Victoria Inc. (TCCV) we see today started in October 1982 obstensibly with the
view of forming a Club for Triumph sedans. Advertisements in local newspapers drew
more owners of sedans and TRs, the Triumph sports car range, into the fledgling
group. The Board of Management was elected at a later meeting held at the
Royal Victorian Aero Club in Moorabbin in April 1983 and comprised President: Steve
Sealey; Vice President: Brian Campbell; Secretary: Ray Nilsson; Treasurer:
John Wardell; Editor: Diana & David Powell; and Committee Person: Glen Mansfield. Full
membership fee was set at $20 per annum with a $5 initial joining fee.
The first recorded social event was a "Treasure Hunt
Rally" from Doncaster Shopping Centre to an address in Berwick for a BBQ on
5 December 1982. Eight Triumphs participated in the rally and another seven joined them
for the BBQ lunch. Around forty people enjoyed the BBQ. Ron Rosanova was
thanked for the use of his front garden.
Interestingly, the first car offered for sale in the first
edition of the Club magazine was a 1976 Dolomite Sprint in immaculate
condition having a modified cooling system, new radial ply tyres, a recent
valve grind and new head gasket. Asking price: $4500. We've come a long way
since then, but some things never change!
From October 1997 to August 2009, monthly meetings were held in the
romantically named Frog Hollow Sports Pavilion in Camberwell. In reality the
pavilion was a hall which eventually proved to be too small to accommodate
attending members. It did boast an attached kitchen though. The car park
couldn't hold all the cars either, so after an exhaustive search for a
"near-free" alternative, we moved to a hall at the Koornang Uniting Church in Murrumbeena. We are still there.
Members come from all points of the compass in metropolitan Melbourne, as well as many country towns and cities throughout Victoria.
As at today, 26th February 2021, we have three hundred and one financial members.
That means there are a lot of classic Triumph cars gracing our roads and bringing enjoyment to their proud owners. Long may that continue."
