Greetings FOT,
While this has no relation to anything Triumph it is of interest to
vintage racers and car people in general. It can't hurt to have eyes all
over the country looking either.
Thanks all,
Bill

Subject: Stolen RMVR cars

The race cars of Jim Lynch, who recently passed away, have been stolen.
A
trailer with both cars in it was taken, perhaps without even knowing that
there were cars in trailer. At any rate, the following email from Pete
Kittredge gives some details on the cars. Pete's email contained
pictures
but those aren't included here in the interest of keeping the file sizes
of
this email (to all RMVR email list) small. If you would like to see the
pics, please "reply" and let me know. I'll send you Pete's Word.doc that
also contains the pics.
Thanks for your help.
