Oi John,
Do you still have that Midget "gifted" to you from son #2 stashed away in the
friend's barn?
Gather some younger car people from one of the regional car clubs or tech
school, or enthusiasts, start with that Valve Cover and add everything what is
needed under the Valve Cover and dump that Morris Garage lump.
I've seen 4.0 Jaguar DOHC 6's shoehorned into Midgets so a Triumph 2.0 should
fit easily and be a welcomed power upgrade.
Paint her your favorite Russet and name her "Flossie's Calf" Of the "Flying Cow
Pie" as it is definitely small enough to park on your cow path street in Eve.
But definitely post a video of you entering and exiting that vehicle if you
thought a Spitty or GT6 required knee pads as standard equipment.
I wonder if a two-week build could be scheduled by some enthusiasts? Seems to
me you park your caravan at that farm too? That is beds, commode and kitchen!
Anyone game for another charity build to coincide with MG & Triumph Spares Day
for parts supply ??

Dear dear Fred Thomas! A lovely man and I miss him too. He came to the UK in
about 2000 for a vacation and we spent the day in my Triumph 2000 saloon
driving one of the former factory test routes. Fred was fascinated in the way I
used the overdrive and said so many nice things about it. When he went home he
asked for my address as he wanted to send me something to say thank you for the
day we shared together. About three weeks later, a long parcel arrived at my
home and on unpacking it, lo and behold was a beautiful powder-coated valve
cover he'd done for me. It went straight on the car and stayed there until I
sold it and put the old one back in place. I've still got it and dearly wish
I'd got a car to fit it to but I'm now too long in the tooth "to play with
Triumphs myself."

I remember Fred Thomas giving these out at The Roadster Factory Party in 2003
or 2004? Joe Curry, does that timeframe ring a bell or was it another pin or
date. Rest In Peace Fred. I miss you. Jim Henningsen
