There are some similarities with my Renault Alpine tow car. The Alpine has =
no homologation for towing, the engine is behind the rear axle. I had to ma=
ke reinforcements from the rear suspension points onwards.=20

I was at Hardy=E2=80=99s house and he still had the E-Type. He used the cro=
ss member/rear transmission mount to reinforce the spare tire pan so he cou=
ld attach part of the hitch to flat tow the TR3.=20
He also took out the back wall of the garage area so the garage extended in=
to the living area.=20

He is an extremely interesting person. He used the racing as an antidote to=
 PSTD after his tour in Vietnam.=20
