Just a guess: you've never been to a meet with Jim Holewka also in
attendance, right? Jim's car is driven hundreds (or thousands) of miles to
a meet, run hard in moving events, and then cleaned up for the show. And I
daresay you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere a better and more correct
example of an early TR6 now or when the cars were new.
It CAN be done, right Jim? >>
Actually, when I originally brought up the subject of "new" Triumphs, I was
trying to get some opinions on judging cars that were built using a completely
new body and other parts (is a new TR6 frame available yet?). If I build a
"reproduction" TR6, which I then drive around a lot and then enter a show, is
it reasonable to judge it in the same class are "real" TR6s?
