Hardy Prentice flat towed his TR3 all over the country for years behind his
Jaguar XKE. Hardy won the SCCA E-production championship in, if I remember
correctly 1991 after 25 years or so trying. He is one of our most important
Triumph heros. Hardy still lives in S.F. and still has his TR3 and the E-type.
I believe he disconnected the drive shaft. If I find more info on that, I'll
share it.
