Rod and Anne Corbett started track and Targa racing 20 years ago in a 1955 Triumph TR3 (which they still own).
In 2004 they bought Bert Dove’s racing Triumph TR3A and have raced, rallied, hill climbed and competed in Targa events in it ever since.
Many trophies have been achieved with this car, but pride of place for Anne and Rod is the 2009 Targa New Zealand Peter Brock Memorial Award.
The previous owner Bert Dove will also share driving the car this weekend.

Rod Corbett - 1959 Triumph TR3A

1959 Triumph TR3A:

This special Triumph was registered as New Zealand-new in Christchurch. Its early history was unknown until it was bought and raced very successfully by Bert Dove, of Tauranga, from the early 1990s. Bert rebuilt the car in 1994 after a 360-degree roll-over at a Taupo winter meeting and went on to win many trophies. In 2004, Bert sold the car to Rod and Anne Corbett of Wanaka who’ve raced, rallied (but not yet rolled) it ever since. Over the years many period modifications have been made to keep the car alive, but under the bonnet it’s still essentially an improved Ferguson tractor motor!
