Bill and others:
 
The original Macau Spitfire now resides back in England @ Canley Classics,  
along with its sibling ADU 4B, one of the LeMans Spitfire fastbacks. More

Oh, there's also information there on a couple of Atlas vans they  own!
 
And there are at least two Triumph-badged Atlas Major vans still in North  
America. One is a camper, in British Columbia, and the other is a van currently  
residing in Indiana, having come out of Canada. Once I get my Database web 
site  back up to speed, I'll again have pictures of both of these, as well as  
publicity shots of two other Triumph-badged Atlases used by the Detroit Triumph 
 distributors in the early 1960s.
 
Yes, the 948cc powered Atlas vans lacked more than a little in terms of  
highway practicality, yet one of them actually survived the trans-Africa proving  
run of prototype Triumph Heralds in 1958!

*Man: Well, no ... It's not so  much of a jet, it's more your, er, Triumph 
Herald engine with wings.
