[TR] Dorothy Deen, American British Car Legend, 1922-2007

[pethier at comcast.net]

I had just reread the Rainbow/Doretti story in The Vintage Triumph before seeing this.  Dorothy was apparently responsible for the logo on the Doretti cars.  It's a shame that the production of these cars was cut short.  I think they could have been very popular.
