Don't you love the name Phaeton. Another coach-based name. Someone out
there must know what it really means.

At last I understand the nomenclature! Since the windshield of my TR6 is
removable with only modest effort (assuming that the nuts haven't rusted
solid) AND it has roll-up side windows, it must be a . . . "Drop Head
Roadster".
Which, I suspect, would also be a good name for a rock band.
And all this time I was afraid it might turn out to be a Single-Cowl
Phaeton.
