After having recently subscribed to the British-Cars and Triumphs mailing
lists and finding it rather useful (as well as hilarious at times), I like
to introduce myself and ask a couple of questions.

The british cars I currently own are a '67 Triumph GT6 Mk I and a '83 Austin
Mini 1000E. There's also a Mercedes Benz 280 CE for daily transport and a
'70 Lancia Fulvia Coupe 1.3 S Rallye just for fun.
My first question involves the Triumph. I bought it about two years ago. It
was imported from the US and in reasonable condition. The idea was to get a
Dutch license plate on it ASAP. Only a few minor problems had to be
resolved. A week later I had separated the body from the chassis and decided
I'd better undertake a nut and bolt restoration... I bet this sounds
familiar to a lot of you. Anyway I'm working on the chassis right now and
the job is getting along quite nicely. And now for the question:
I still have the original American title with the car and I would like to
get in touch with the previous owner. Yes, I know it's a long shot, but the
car carries a "University of Jacksonville Commuter" sticker and if the guy
is working at a university he might be on the net. Anyway, does anyone know
the following person who used to drive a red Triumph GT6 to the Jacksonville
University(FL) in the late eighties:
Derek R. White
5885 Edenfield RD 915
Jacksonville Florida
My second question involves, dare I say it, the Lancia. Does anyone know
whether a similar mailing list exists for Lancia (or Italian car) owners.
If it exists and it's as useful as this one I would like to subscribe.
Thanks in advance....
Ronald
