Yes, it was bought by Jim Whitmer, who was a former owner. In fact he =
was the owner who sold the car to Doug Karon. So yes, I=E2=80=99m quite =
pleased.=20

The car comes with a LOT of ancillary parts, many of them have nothing =
to do with the Ambro. I=E2=80=99m trying to make my metalworking wing of =
the shop a bit more orderly and getting rid of 50 years worth of Triumph =
parts accumulation will go a long way to aid that. I=E2=80=99m restoring =
a TR3 I bought many years ago, and reserving the parts necessary to =
complete that project, but otherwise everything that fits on the trailer =
is headed to Oklahoma.=20

I hope he does what I planned to do, which was to Peyote-ify the car. I =
always thought it could be as fast or faster, and pretty at the same =
time.=20
