TR-3B

Has anyone seen one of the anti-gravitic black triangles that have been flying over the UK recently??

If you see one buy it, the TR3b was only in production for a few months and is worth a few bob, forget black, looked much nicer in red!

TR4A IRS, TR5 or TR6 are all superb. My father nearly bought a TR6, but decided on an MGB GT instead.... But it could have been worse - he nearly bought a Jensen Healey!

The TR6 was very nicely styled, but then came the utterly hideous wedge-shaped TR7 - even in its relatively rare TR8 version, it was an utter turkey!

I liked my rotting AH Sprite in Singapore. Even managed to ... well, 'nuff said.

With the cloud cover we've had I've rarely seen anything flying this year!

TR7

Major Day drove a TR7 once, I still spoke to him. I had a Scimitar.

He once said If the Vulcan ever flies again he'd eat his hat, I never did ask him if it was delicious.

MPN11 - I always wondered who had owned my Sprite before me. What fun indeed!

PS - I've just wiped a black triangular shaped object off my shoe - is that what we are looking for?

MPN11 - not back to the topic of lengthy correspondence in Motor Sport in the 1959/60 era on whether or not congress was possible in a Sprite are we - which was finalised by a "This correspondence must end - Ed"

Wander00 ... Exhibit A, c. 1968. I have no recollection of the previous correspondence in Motor Sport, and simply conducted my own evaluation of the possibilities.

Is that a non-standard bonnet? or an "overseas" model?
