Hey -- a couple listers picked up on the first email that the cars were
*Triumphs* --
***********************************************
I would think if you were actually looking at the car, which is what I
gathered the original poster was, one would notice the badging that would
say either TR4, TR250. If there wasn't any badging how would one know it
was even a Triumph (unless you knew what it was in the first place?) -
Besides (maybe in error) I read it to mean another VEHICLE, not necessarily
another Triumph

>familiar with them (I know one person who thought a TR4 was a Spit)and
they have fins. . .
**********************************************
Sorry, not trying to be inflammatory, but to say early TR's had "fins" is
[just in my very humble opinion], stretching it a tad. To say any big TR
looks like a Spitfire is kinda like my mother saying, and I love her
dearly, "I saw a car like yours today". That is to say, that it was some
shade of red. . .;-)
