Good Morning Bruce, Peter Marten tells that the hardtop was bought from Neil Dangerfields brother and was, as you mention, from a TR3. It was too wide and modified by Chris Lawrence by "cutting and shutting". The brown stripe down the middle of the black top was to cover up the join!!! Pet...

Headlights blazing to signify I was coming up quickly behind back markers...... or.......had I inadvertently switched the headlights on????????????? It was the last time...

Good Morning Mark, So kind of you to get in touch. I have emailed Jim Lowry with my email address k-foley@sky.com who has passed it on to Simon Gurney. If Simon contacts me I will be only too willing, with Simons agreement, to keep everyone in the loop that's interested. I have 8mm footage, now on D...
