Marshall,
A great article, as usual, Marshall! It looks very promising for TVR; I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I see from the new TVR Times that your 280i sold. It looks like a great family now owns it. I still kick myself at times for passing up your car for the newer '86 280i with only 12K miles that was sitting beside it - after all, it was because of your car and our discussions that we traveled to see the car. If it weren't red as well, I would have purchased your old car. We made a family vacation of picking up the car in Montana and it was the high point of our summer last year! We spent a week traveling around one of the most beautiful parts of our country - near the gate to Glacier National Park.
Thanks again for the parts you were able to source. Without your experience, my windshield wipers would still be spontaneously going off!
Your dedication to the marque is an inspiration to us all.
