No worries with this car Jerry.  Roger won’t ever sell it.  Hope he brings it back out soon.

My concern is it will become another significant Triumph race car that will never again see a track event. The most recent example is the Group 44 TR6 that ended up with Adam Carolla and was repainted in the Paul Newman colors. It’s too bad that money trumps these cars from being used as they were intended. So that’s my 2 cents worth opinion.

I wouldn't be surprised.  Quite a car. Yes, Le Taxi. Kas book "Historical &Technical Guide for Triumph Cars" has a nice section about it.

Le Taxi, I believe.  It’s a really neat car.  Roger hasn’t brought it out for quite a while.

Thanks Chuck, that's good to know. I don't recall seeing it raced much/at all so I was curious.

Roger Fenton bought it back in 2002 or so, whatever happened to it? I was reading one of Kas's books and it got me curious.
