Pat Owens (1935-2011), affectionately known as "Mr. Triumph," joined the staff of Triumph of America in 1959 and soon worked his way up to Western Service Manager. A good off-road racer and even better tuner, he also served as Johnson Motors' racing manager, preparing flat-trackers, road racers and desert sleds for the likes of future Hall of Famers Gene Romero and Eddie Mulder. Owens left Triumph in 1971 to become lead motorcycle instructor at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where he helped train a generation of competent bike mechanics. In his spare time Pat put more that 500,000 miles on a 1970 Bonneville T120RT, often with wife Donna behind, including their last big trip to Alaska and back.

First Jaguar F-Type customer cars leave Jaguar’s Castle Bromwich
Fri, 10 May 2013The first proper sports car from Jaguar since the E-Type ended production almost 40 years ago (and it could be argued the later V12 E-Types were more a GT than a proper sports car), the F-Type is a hook to hang Jaguar’s future intent on – and it seems to be making a pretty good fist of it. It may not be cheap (you’ll pay £80k for a V8 F-Type) and it may be heavier than its lightweight aluminium underpinnings promise, but it looks great, goes very well and seems to have proper Jaguar ‘Soul’. A winning combination.

Show Review: Tokyo Concours D’Elegance
Wed, 28 Nov 2007Tokyo has hosted the first of what it hopes will become the Japanese equivalent of America's Pebble Beach and Italy's Villa D'Este. Held at the plush Tokyo Midtown shopping mall/commercial complex, the Tokyo Concours D'Elegance was initiated by enthusiast Paul Goldsmith and coincided with the first public days of the Tokyo Motor Show - though regrettably also with a typhoon, forcing organisers to cover the cars on the lawns, which were ultimately closed due to flooding. Fortunately, the exhibition had been split between in- and outdoors, and while the weather lashed out at those braving the winds, there were still some interesting displays for those wishing to remain dry.
