Interesting!
I purchased my TR6 at a General Services Administration auction some
years ago. The car used to be owned by the Department of Justice/DEA.
I found a copy of the original registration and an agent's business
card in the glove compartment. The original license plate: 246NRC.
The car still has a disguise antenna and evidence of a mounting
bracket for a Motorola Micor 2-way radio radio having been installed
in the trunk.
I wonder what cars these guys are driving nowadays. Probably Miatas.
