[Fot] TR 250

[Larry Young]

Yeah, where have you been Jim? Is this an unrequited or lost love? I've 
restored my 250 since I've seen you. It was about $30,000 even though I 
(with help) did much of the work. It is completely stock. I never had 
the money to soup it up, so its always been stock. I did a few minor 
unseen improvements and installed an OD. I've driven it to several VTR 
meets and did a 7,000 mile trip with it a few years ago, with no major 
problems. A stock 250 is reliable if well maintained. I think "back in 
the day" we drove them hard and didn't maintain them. The paint on that 
car looks too dark to me. Conifer green is a lighter yellower green (and 
prettier) than BRG. Here are a couple of photos taken at an outing to 
the CVAR races at Hallett.
