Oh, GREAT! First the eight-port heads come up for sale. Now an ex-works
car! When will you guys let up on me? Gimme a break! :-)
I agree, though, that ADU7B was originally one of the rallye cars. As I
recall from Robson's book and other sources, this car even as of that
writing had seen many changes, rebodying, redefinition of purpose (so to
speak).
Anyone on this list know someone at Triumph World magazine? Seems as if
this would be a good feature for them.
What does the picture show for body configuration, etc.? Fastback?
LeMans-style bonnet or multi-lamp rallye bonnet?
