BW, your secret is safe with me. I too had at one time 12 cars. Now I am down to 5. But my baby is a 1962 triumph Herald. I really wish I could have a shop like yours or at least a building that size. I only have the 2 stall garage. IMG_0329 by Tom Ress, on Flickr

Hi Tom...thanks for the response. Looks like a Herald 1200? I've always wanted a TR5 - maybe will come across a barn find some day. I'd love to see your collection sometime...do you have any GM muscle cars in there? Maybe when we are down to Deer Creek Speedway for a race we can visit.

My current car projects is a 78 MG-B roadster and a chrome, split bumper Roadster. Split bumper has a lot of rust and a pinto engine in it. It will be getting the 3.8 V6 Buick grand national turbo charged engine and a five speed manual. LOL

Close, it is a 948 mk1 the 1200 was a mk2. The guy I bought it from put a new rebuilt 1200 in it. I would love to meet up with you if you get down to the rochester area.

Hey Mrmarty51...do you have any photos to share of the roadsters? And where is the Buick Grand National the turbo 3.8 came out of? I was an engineer at Buick in the 80s during the time of the GN and of course the final GNX. Wish I would have held on to the one I had back in those days!

Thanks Marty! I really appreciate you not posting car photos on the VTT board. We are after all, a Vintage TRAILER forum.
