Over the last few weeks I have sold 2 of my cars, this means the current fleet are mostly garaged, it does however leave one space to fill. Not sure what to buy.

Chris,

Get a HGV Licence and buy a Car Transporter or alternatively bring across the Rally Car.

OK, So here's a challenge for you then. I seem to remember (maybe I dreamt it) that I read somewhere that half a dozen or so specially made "narrow" TR7's were made for Bermuda...or was it Bahamas? (because of the narrow streets). Perhaps you could track one down and bring it home for your next car.

My next car would be a 5-speed Speke fixed head with the big sunroof..Java Green, green tartan int with original green carpet. I would chrome the roof gutters and sill strips. ...or the car I spoke to you about at Stoneleigh, nudge, nudge, any news?

There were three narrow TR7's Steve. They made them narrow because of the width of the roads on the island. A strange project that one.

Billy, you're not the only one! Don't think I'll be getting my paintwork put right either.[V]
My information is Yorkshire Triumph are now defunct. The partnership folded, the garage site sold, and Pete is - I'm told - working for a Land Rover specialist somewhere near Doncaster.
Chris, any info on this?
