[TR] TS1

[Carl TR]

Maybe the new owner has more money than sense.  It is currently documented to be as close to original as possible (even acknowledging JonMac variancies).  To change it beyond it's original configuration would really decrease the value of TS1.    As a collector/investment - I doubt the new owner would want to fall down that hole.

But one car came in today for an oil change and a minor problem with the
brake light. That number I can probably remember:



Mark:
Thanks for the delightful photo of the very beloved TS1. I first met TS1 
in Joe Richards' shop back in 97 or so and later in 2003 when Joe unveiled 
it in Auburn at the TRA National I hosted. Words can not begin to explain 
what Joe started with compared to its finished look.

On another list the new owner said his goal was to "improve" TS1 - that 
very thought just terrifies me. Would be like some dolt painting a smile on 
the Mona Lisa! Sincerely hope before any so called improvements the new 
owner gets opinions from Joe or Bill Piggott or John Saunders. Please Mark, 
gently quiz the owner about his plans for TS1 and what improvements he has 
in mind.

I know there will be those who say that TS1 is his car to do as he so 
pleases but Dammit there was only one TS1 and to butcher it would be more than 
criminal!
