Chris, et. al.: that article was reprinted in _The Vintage Triumph_
(VTR's magazine), issue #63. There Tim notes that the car was a 1957
Triumph "endurance race car" that had won its class at the Daytona
Continental in 1964 and 1965, and it had finished second in 1963.

p.s. I might have Tim's article (or a version of it) filed away in my
e-mail if anyone is interested. Let me know and I'll dig around for it.
