Rod,
So this may not be a great lead for you, but I saw a super TR8 DHC on my
way to and at the Vintage Auto Race at Lime Rock, CT last weekend. When
we arrived, the owner was hanging his "For Sale" sign.
I picked up one of his ads. It reads:
For Sale, 1980 Triumph TR8, 3.5 V-8, 4 bbl, 37K miles, 5 spd, air,
Edelbrock, Offy, Mallory ignition, headers, have all original parts, 2nd
owner, original poseidon green paint and plaid interior, no rust, runs
strong, drive anywhere, $9000 or best offer, trades considered.
Anybody interested, email me for phone number. From the area code, the
car is located in central Mass.
The car looked great, but I admit I have no "wedge" experience at all,
so I wouldn't know what to look for. I don't think the current owner
drives the car hard, as he had the opportunity to blow away a BMW Z3,
and just did a lazy pass. I must admit I was a little disappointed!
