Tim, just a quick "AMEN" to Bill. He knows more about TR-250's (and thus TR-5's) than just about anybody I've ever met. He was running one regularly when we motored together in New Jersey nearly 30 y

If you really mean that it will be "used as a street car" and not a show car, it would be so much cheaper and easier to build a TR5 replica. Start with a TR4a, add a TR6 motor, different badging, an
