David:
Good choices. I visited Beaulieu and Coventry several years ago. If you go
to the Coventry Chamber of Commerce (something like that), they have a book
locating all of the former LBC factories with a map. When I was there in
1996, the Triumph plant was gone and nothing but a vast open area of rubble
was left. The area was fenced.
Try to get to Gaydon if you can.

Subject: Trip to England
Listers,
Saturday night I leave Detroit for a two week vacation in England and
Scotland. Tops on my list are several single malt distilleries, a
trip to Beaulieu, lots of pubs, and a visit to Coventry to see where
my cars were born.
Problem is, I'm not sure of the exact location of the old Coventry
factory. Last I heard, it had been replaced with a supermarket and a
plaque was all that was left. Can someone tell me how to find this
plaque? Also, any other areas of interest to a TR freak that I should
see?
TIA,
David Rupert
