I had a loaner TR-250 for a year or so. My then brother-in-law was off to Vietnam for a second tour and left his complete (!) set of Nikon lenses and bodies plus his TR-250 in my care. For those who missed this one, the TR-250 was the body of a TR-4 with the engine of the soon-to-appear TR-6. Nice car. Fun car. Nice growl from the exhaust. It convinced me to move from my American Motors Rambler to a Porsche 912. It did not convince me to buy a British car.

It was! I still have my copy of the SCCA finish sheet!
Shows me finishing 3rd in E Production (1.6-2.0 litre) class. Somewhere I have a newsletter reproduction showing me tooling along at
full chat, about 6500 RPM! Hee, hee!, hee It's a wonder I didn't blow
up that old 4-banger tractor engine! <g>

I'd buy an A-H Sprite today, in a heartbeat, if I could find one for
less than UA$15,000!
They're among my favourite classic English sports cars, the Austin Healey Bug Eye (I think you Brits call them Frog Eye?) Sprite being my absolute fave. They're just so irresistably cute!!
cheers, frank
