Among other cars, I own a TR6 that is shortened 12" in the front.
This car was almost perfect, a '75, beautiful original unrestored.
The day was perfect, the guy caught the sun into his eyes and
missed the pickup trunk sitting in the middle of the road, i.e.
about a 35 mph T-bone into the truck.

The steering wheel has a face imprint and I am told the guy walks
with a limp to this day due to knee damage.

Thankfully, he was wearing his OEM TR6 seatbelt.  The retractor didn't
catch.  It caught him as he face-planted the steering wheel and saved
his life, but ?????
