[TR] For those getting the...

[Don Hiscock]

Friends in the UK have had this 1959 Standard Pennant in the family since
new.  It's a bit of a time warp look at what was a nice small car back in
the day.  Here it is a couple of years ago.  I quite like it.

And one of our correspondents on this list had a TR10 back in the 1980s.
Here's a photo one day in 1983 when he drove it to work.  I have the head
badge from that car here in my office.
