[Fot] on the subject of Ambros...

Glen,

It was the last AMBRO he built, while also restoring a historical home in 
Elizabethtown, NY, into a B & B. He initial drove it on the street, but was 
encouraged by Rosemary Remington to return to racing.

The body was, indeed, an early body and unbuilt when he found it on a tour of 
the US in an MGB, with Rosemary in the late 80s 

Bill  willed the car to his son, Robert, in Steamboat Springs, CO. Robert ran 
the Ambro for a few years, sometimes with the support of Jack & Joe. Robert 
painted the car Blue.  

The AMBRO is now owned by Robert Stadel in eastern PA (?) and is supported by 
Rich Rock and Bill Dewar (Triumph Rescue.

Robert Ames nows runs a Porsche.

Rosemary still runs the B & B in Elizabethtown.

Mr. Stadel, ran the AMBRO at the Glen. 

Which reminds me, I think that I have a Third Place Award for Mr. Stadel in 
Triumph Specials.
