I believe David Hobb's first factory drive was for TRiumph.
Jimmy Conners and Chris Evert each won TR6's 1 year for winning Winbledon.
The cars were delivered with factory hardtops. I bought the one off of
Evert's car from Gold Coast Imports of Pompano Beach, FL. in the 70's (at
least that's what they told me).
