There is something our Triumph members would like to hear (are you listening Steve?). Richard doesn't just do high-end classics but he almost restores Triumphs and from what I saw there a lot of 6-Packs (the car in the foreground shop pic and those below are a few. The gray and dark blue ones are his work too).

The gray TR6 (above pic) was a full frame off restoration. The dark blue
TR6 featured a fully modified overbore engine, Toyota 5-speed and even a rear sway bar. Also, an Advanced Wiring system with 7 relays and 15 fuses. Richard pulled the heater system and replaced it with his own including air conditioning. The AC brackets were completely fabricated from scratch.

After visiting Richard's shop we all caravanned to a Garage rented by Richard. Between the warehouse and ground there were probably 50-60 classic cars. To name a few (below) a mustard color 1957 Alva and a red 1947 Dellow. There were vintage MGs, TRs and TVRs.

In this very unpretentious part of eastern Tennessee I believe it absolutely baffling that these enthusiasts and their cars just keep coming. The Driveline will continue to contain even more of these kinds of articles.
