Hello, my name is Rick Harris, I am a lifelong car enthusiast and a retired auto engineer and amateur tool maker. I have always had an interest in owning a British car. Along with a friend, I recently purchased a 72 TVR Vixen w/ 2.5L Triumph engine for a project. I came close to buying a TR3 many years ago and tried to buy an Austin Healey 100-4 but couldn't come up with the funding. I noticed a user in this forum that is working on a 71 TVR Vixen V8 conversion. That caught my eye because we are planning to convert our TVR to a 289 small block Ford. It's going to be a big job and we can use any help that we can find. Looking forward to connecting with this community.
