I found pics of my TR7 (Joe I believe you had a 6). The first one was mine from high school. It was brown, but I had it painted this jade gray color (which oxidized in about a year-ugh). My HS GF got me the plate which I thought was cool. That's the one I overheated in and warped the head. The 2nd was my sister's car I inherited in later in college. Like I said, my dad was a Triumph nut. The red one was one of my dads. He had several. Cool thing with Triumphs you could own a bunch, but they didn't cost much.
