[Fot] Ambro

[Bill Babcock]

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’m quite pleased. 

The car comes with a LOT of ancillary parts, many of them have nothing to do with the Ambro. I’m 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’m 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. 

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.
