Triumph TR8 Picture Credits

Every picture on the site, in the order it first appears, with what it shows, its photographer and licence, the pages it is on and the address of its file, and the videos the site embeds.

How the pictures were chosen

Every picture here may be reused freely: each is in the public domain or under a Creative Commons licence. All but one come from Wikimedia Commons; the other is from Flickr. Most of the licences ask for a credit, so each picture carries one wherever it is shown, and the list below gathers them. Every picture appears as its source published it, though a frame may crop it.

The photographs were taken between 2005 and 2025, most of them at shows, museums and race meetings. Where a car's identity rests on its photographer's word, the caption says so, and a car badged TR8 that cannot be shown to be a factory car is captioned as such.

For some subjects a page shows a stand-in, and its caption says what it shows and that it is not the subject; a stand-in at the head of a page is also labelled "Stand-in" on the picture and at the start of its caption.
