Saw Pat Leno's beautiful red TR3A at the Larz Anderson
Auto Museum's "Day of Triumph" show in Brookline MA a few years ago. Mass
license plate says "OLD RED". Never did meet him, but I did want to talk to
him about his car. Tried to find his phone number, but it was unlisted (a
shock, I know). Found an address and wasn't sure it was his, but wrote anyway
(surely you all remember snail mail). About a week later, my phone rang and it
was Pat. Super nice guy and very helpful..
I didn't know he was Jay's
brother, though I suspected they were related given the proximity. At the end
of the 30 minute or so conversation, I finally asked.
Interesting that Frank
mentions Jay's red TR3 in LA. Pretty sure the one I saw was Pat's, not Jay's.
We even talked about where he had it painted, paint formulas etc. Who knows
though. Can't imagine Jay's looking any better than this one.
