[Fot] MYSTERY TINNERY OF BRITISH CARS-----

[Barr, Scott]

Dunno how well this will work, but I just uploaded to Facebook a photo
of Chris Mills' stash here just north of Appleton WI (circa 1998, photo
credit to Kent Howard, erstwhile pilot of Little Red Riding Hard).  Gone
now, in the name of progress.

Chris still has much of the mechanical bits and other portable parts.
These were, at the time of this photo, mostly the stripped and rusting
hulks.  He's got barns full of good stuff, but you can't reach him to
buy anything...

I know exactly how to deal with the type. In fact it sounds like kin
to the guy that started me with my TR stock... 9000' up the side of a
New Mexico mountain to liberate a total of 14 cars/parts. Took Connie
and I 4 trips, 3 trailers [only the single axle "shuttle" trailer
would make it up], 2 four wheel drives [plus his Scout "mountain
tug"] and about 1000 miles to get it done. And worth all that, every
penny and every skinned knuckle. Give me a proximity and I'll be on
my way [no address needed for this kind of guy].
Let me know - my drool is already becoming a problem.
