[TR] Barn find!!! or is this a Garage Find???

[Dave]

Congratulations on your find!
I found and bought TS516xxL in October, about ten minutes away.  It was acquired by the previous owner at least 15 years ago in this same condition.  I got it's TR4A engine running after a quickie tuneup a couple days later.  It sounds great.  Who knows when it last ran.  It came with a truck load of new and used parts too.  Also, a floorjack and a set of stands.
My restored race car is TS462xxL and I also have TS21xxLO '54 TR2.  TS462xxL was built on March 19, 1959.  
It looks like we have something to do in the New Year. 
Best wishes for good one TR listers,
Dave Hogye
