Saw that mag at lunch today and saw absolutely no Triumphs in it except for
those in the ads. I was disappointed since there were pics from a number of
different summer shows around the country. Lots of MGs and Big Healeys. They
even had a number of pics of an Alfa Romeo. But NO TRs. Don't know if that's
always the case.

I posted a note a couple of weeks ago, but got no response so I'll try again. I
saw an ad somewhere for a US publication called "British Cars". I think it was a
bi-monthly. Is anyone on the list familiar with this mag? Is it any good? There
are too few magazines available and this one may even have prices in dollars
instead of pounds!! Thanks.
