Greetings All!
This was sent by a good friend on the TR list.
I was watching Speed vision this morning and saw a presentation on TRs and
the
Alpine Rally. When I first tuned in they were talking about the TR3s
cleaning up
taking all five top spots and the team prize. They then talked about a new
factory car called a TRS or TR type S with a twin overhead cam 4
cylinder.<snip> My question for the group is has anyone seen or know about
the TRS or the twin overheard cam 4banger, or about that TR4 with the center
light?
<
Commonly referred to as the "Sabrina" engine. So named due to the
resemblance of the cast aluminium cam gear covers to the, um, well, , um
well endowed Welsh Jane Mansfield, I believe she was called. Quite the
appropriate engine for the "wasp waisted" TR3, doncha think?
God bless cantilever construction!

Perhaps my speculation was correct after all.
