Father And Son Make Peerless Racing Duo
Had one of these, 1976 – loved it – drove it very illegally for a summer aged 19. Bought it from a front garden for £200. Loved the TR engine and overdrive on all four gears, the dials and steering, loved the tanks in the sills (rocker panels), loved the slots in the bucket seats and the rear buckets, loved the quick drop side windows. Sold it for £200 and got a Corvair for £50, then a Zephyr Farnham estate, then an Elan. Gosh this one picture takes me on a journey through my early cars. Miss it

Fraser,
This was filmed up in Pine Mount Club, CA, about 1.5 hours north of Los Angeles. A lot of the shots were filmed at the top of Mt. Pinos, and the others were on the 95 heading west out to the 33 (which heads to Ojai).

Hi Paul,
Great video and great story! I’m very curious about your shifter boot configuration. Is that the original boot and placement or was it OEM? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I’m going for the same look for a BMW 635csi resto-mod I’m currently in the process of planning and researching. Thanks!
