    Your GT6 looks like a runner. I've been a fan of Triumphs since a neighbors sons had a pair of TR3s. Lot's of fun in a small package.

    Thanks for that Brian, Gary lives close to Brooklands and is in constant touch with them there.

    Thanks, Brian! I appreciate the nice comment. Actually, the wheels are the "Minator" brand and they are a lot safer than the old wire wheels that were on the car. I, too, am a fan of Triumphs, especially Spitfires and GT6s!!!!

    Brian, I don't believe I have any, but I will look. I sold the car to a friend after I was hit by a small truck in it... I sold him that car, a parts car and another GT6+ that I was going to do a resto on. I believe he also has another (front end) wrecked GT6+ and a complete but apart Mk III. All of those cars are located in Niagara Falls NY. Cheers, Sean

    Hi Brian, thanks very much for the shoes, I am delighted. They are red, just like your cars! I guess we have been at the time same place in 1988 or 1990, if a Jaguar won. I have attended Le Mans every year since 1977, I used to live near Paris at that time, now I live just one hour from Le Mans and I have got press accreditation since 1997. this year I wrote reports for three magazines and four issues following the race. I have always wished to go to Sebring, hopefully one of the teams I work for may go someday to take part in the great 12-hour race...
