Clearly the message here is that the gal is parked too far from the curb!

Clearly the Bugeye has broken down and the young lady is waiting for the dependable TR6 to rescue her.

Come on an Umph rescuing anything?! - now you have gone too far - that is clearly too implausible even for this forum! :grin:

I though she saw the Bugeye and was waiting to meet the guy who owned such a cool car.

No it is a 2 way street. There
are green traffic light signals on those lights.

Here's proof he rescued her. Picked her up and they stopped at a country Bed'n Breakfast. :rolleye:

She and the car are on Fifth Avenue at 59th Street in New York City. The building behind the trees is Bergdorf Goodman's department store and the building to the right is the Plaza Hotel. Fifth Avenue is indeed a one-way street going south and the car is parked going the wrong way.
Been on that corner more times than I could count.
She's pretty tall for a Bugeye, and I would say those heels would not help her ability to get in and out of it! I would add that it takes a brave person to drive a BE in Manhattan these days. Seems like the yellow cabs are being displaced by Uber drivers in black Suburbans. Thousands of them. They really don't care if you are in their way or not.
Now, if the driver backed up and proceeded west on 59th (also known as Central Park South) the horse drawn carriages gather around Sixth Avenue and it is pretty safe near them (except for the occasional road apple).

Can we talk about the car for a sec? That's "The Bishop", formerly owned by Team Thicko Sprite guy Wm. Severin Thompson, aka "Flounder" and has quite an interesting history: https://bringatrailer.com/2011/04/1...ry-stage-5-tuned-1961-ah-bugeye-sprite-racer/ Appears it's now owned by Churchill Classics in NY and is available for photo shoots like the one above. https://www.facebook.com/pg/Churchill-Classics-246532982062158/posts/?ref=page_internal

:thumbsup: Even though in my experience Triumph owners wouldn't have the first clue about what to do with a babe at a B&B - they would just want to pop the bonnet and talk carbs all night long. Just sayin.

Can someone photoshop a Bugeye in place of this car?
