>I was watching Speed vision this morning and saw a presentation on TRs and
the
Alpine Rally. When I first tuned in they were talking about the TR3s
cleaning up
taking all five top spots and the team prize. They then talked about a new
factory car called a TRS or TR type S with a twin overhead cam 4
cylinder.<snip> My
question for the group is has anyone seen or know about the TRS or the twin
overheard cam 4banger, or about that TR4 with the center light?

Commonly referred to as the "Sabrina" engine. So named due to the
resemblance of the cast aluminium cam gear covers to the, um, well, , um
well endowed Welsh Jane Mansfield, I believe she was called. Quite the
appropriate engine for the "wasp waisted" TR3, doncha think?
