Triumphant types!
This sounds like a hoax, but the story is true. This car was one of
two that were being shipped from the factory to California in 1978 in a
container and never arrived at its destination and were discovered on
a dock in Germany 20 years later. This car became the possession of one
of the British Leyland executives who is now retired and lives near Halifax,
Nova Scotia and it is now in the hands of a local "prestige" auto dealer and
for sale in the 13 - 14K Can. dollar (~10,000.00 U.S.) range. It has
approximately 1,800 *original* kms on the clock, is BR Green with a green
plaid upholstery. It is obviously "smogged" for California.
If anyone is interested in this car, send me a message and I'll give
you
more information on the location. For those of you who are interested in TR7's
this is like buying one right out of the showroom. The usual disclaimers, I
have
no personal interest in this car but would like to see it in the hands of
someone
who would appreciate it. Now if it was a Sunbeam Talbot, nobody would know
about
it except me!! ;-)
Regards,
Bob
