Well, it is sort of true. Moss' european branch did purchase a few places in
England, like Cox & Buckles. C & B was one of THE major suppliers for The
Roadster Factory, so TRF may be in a bit of a pinch. But TRF is pretty large
themselves, so no doubt they will manage. Moss also purchased Triumph Tune,
run by Terry Hurrell, a great place for competition type TR stuff. I think
Moss also bought a similar company which deals in MG parts, but since I never
go near that stuff I wouldn't know.
Hmm, maybe I should go into parts manufacturing - wonder if Boulder, Colorado
would like to have a factory move into town? Hi, Bob!
