Hi Joe
I believe the engine was the same one as the Herald and Spitfire used ...
it sure looked familiar <S> ... but I think the car was made in Europe,
Germany maybe? If you missed it, the episode airs again tomorrow (Sunday)
on TNN. The Car and Driver show also had a great little spot on a lovely,
black TR3A. Thanks to whoever posted that note last weekend! C&D also airs
again tomorrow on TNN.
Cheers
Keith Stewart
