for those of you who study the history of our Triumphs.
the factory built a very few overhead cam motors for racing at Le Mons.
because of the way the front timing cover looked it was nicknamed the "Sabr=
ina"
i think the roadster factory is re building one of the Sabrina motors.
so for those who don't know Sabrina here she is and you can well see why th=
ey called the motor the Sabrina

> i think the roadster factory is re building one of the Sabrina motors.

IIRC, they've had roughly 2-1/2 DOHC "Sabrina" engines for twenty or 
more years, and the expectation was that they ought to be able to make 
at least one out of the collected parts they had.  Whether or not they 
intend to install it in a replica Le Mans TR-S, I don't know.  After 
this much time, though, I wouldn't expect a finished, running article 
anytime soon.

Cheers.
