I doubt it. A few years back I asked about it and was amazed that she kept it. It might be operational now. Back then it was supposedly being made roadworthy again after sitting for years.

A few years ago on Top Gear, James May called the Triumph TR6 a bloke’s car. I would like to produce a segment to counter that.

With those old British sports cars, the trick was to buy two—one to drive and one for the shop.

Our little sports car group raced throughout the hills of greater Lost Angeles area.

I made it from Crystal Lake to Azusa in 40 minutes, stopping at the East Fork so my passenger could smoke a cigarette.

Turnbull Canyon was another popular road racing route.

Puente Hills, from Rose Hills on the west to Carbon Canyon on the east.

My senior class president died on graduation night in those hills, a close friend broke his neck when he flipped his hotrod Sprite, etc.
