[TR] Easy money?

[Michael Lang]

I personally don't believe the estimates regarding the number of
surviving cars. I know of 3 stored away in buildings within a 50 mile
radius that are quietly waiting for restoration. 2 are TR3A's and 1 is a
TR2. 2 of these cars would not be difficult to put back on the road, but
1 is probably destined to be a parts car.

If there are that many near me, I wonder how many more are stashed away
around the country that have fallen off of the radar?
