"The white car (presumably the one you owned) was sent to Prescott, AZ 
along with a spare parts car to be restored by a fellow from Norway last 
I heard."

Does anyone know a place in Prescott like this?

Here's why I am wondering.  I used to have a car, a white, solid axle 
TR4A.  Great car, one of my favorites.  Should have kept it, you know 
that story.  Anyway, I sold it to a fellow here in Salt Lake.  Some 
years later I am browsing local classifieds, and I see a white TR4A for 
sale.  I look at the photos and one picture has a bit of a sway bar 
mount showing.  A custom, one of a kind mount that I fabricated for The 
White Car, as I called it.  Turns out it was purchased by someone in St. 
George, Utah, summer of 2015. Since my name was on a lot of the 
paperwork that came with the car he contacted me.  We chatted a bit, I 
gave him some of the history of the car the time it was in my care, 
emailed him some of the pictures I have.  Restoration was in the plans.

So the other day I was feeling nostalgic and put up a post on Facebook 
about how I would really like to have a fun car back on the road.  My 
post included a shot of TWC, taken at the Boulder, Colorado VTR 
convention in 1990, I think it was.  Picture below. And I emailed 
Taylor, the fellow in St. George.  His email address is still valid, he 
responded about his various projects, and the quote at the beginning 
about Prescott tells what he ended up doing with my former car.

Anyone know the shop?

I had a solid axle 66, once I got done redoing everything it was a daily
driver in the late 80s, and the most reliable British car I have ever
owned, would start at 10 below no worries, damn fine looking car too.
