Fine examples of restorations coming out of British European in Cotati.
Mark Singleton and company. Had A first place on a customers TR4-A last
year. Been doing business with him for over 15 years. Have seen some of
the prettiest Brit restorations out of his shop ever. Did a great job on
my TR-6 when I cracked a valve and forever scarred a cylinder wall
beyond hope. Found me a good block new head and put together the
cleanest engine bay I've ever seen in a Brit roadster and an engine that
runs like a clock and leaks the least amount of oil I've ever seen in a
TR anyway.

always better to have orig. rebuilt rather than thow in something elese-
deal being matching #s if this eng-trans is what this chasis and body
all got sent out w/ from the start then that,s what you want- all these
#s e-z to track down-
cant say for m.g. but for triumphs it can be tracked down to day and
time this commishion # issued to the 2 guys that built the car to the
kid that was sweepng the floor at 10:42 a.m. that day and what girl in
the office brewed the tea..
do you want a primo ham and eggs at the top of the mark or or a box of
scrambeled eggs from jack in the box?- it,s your choice and it,s your
pocketbook.
keep it orig as possible at all time!
theres my 2 cents worth.
good luck w/ it-steve.
