TopGear 1983 - Series 10 Episode 4

You may have already seen this, but I have only just found this old 1983 episode of TopGear featuring a splendid Triking, back in the days when TopGear was a sober, dry and informative programe. A blast from the past!

Dr Richard Norris do you still have your Triking?

All the best,

Jamie

Fantastic!
Thank you Jamie for finding that and sharing with us.
Can anyone throw any light on YLP723X?

Jamie,
I can't believe I haven't seen this before either ! It's a Series 1 in BRG much like my own, chassis number is probably in the 20's.
The car doesn't appear on the register under that reg number, it may now have a different number or have gone overseas. It would be great to find out more information.

Andy.

This vehicle doesn't appear in either of the owners lists I have from 1990 and 94.
