Michael and List--
You asked about someone in the US who is knowledgable about TR5/6PI?
About a year ago I had a friend who was interested in a TR5 and located one
in San Antonio,TX. We flew down and met Philip Beekley. He had a TR 5 and
other assorted TR's and was very informed anout the PI system and cars in
general. He had lived in Europe while in the military and "collected" his TR
5 at that time. Since returning to the US, he has kept the PI system running,
much of the work apparently done himself.
I know Phillip told us he used ice packs on the PI system when traveling long
distances. Vapor lock was one of the problems experienced without the ice
packs. In any event, he was very honest about the cars, their problems and
solutions - even knowing we were prospective purchasers.
Although I do not have his telephone number, he may be reached at the
following address: Phillip Beekley, 9755 Kelton Drive, San Antonio, TX 78501.
Phillip is also on the Surrogate Buyer Network for VTR.
Good luck.
