Yep ... I remember that... My older brother James had one and went to school in it many a time. His was one of 7 made for Sebring race team. We didn't know it at the time until he sent in for the Triumph Registry and they inquired how he got it. Bought from a guy down the street in Irving Texas around 64'. The guy never told us that. Sure do miss it. Wish we had it back. Love the sound of it and the 64 TR-4 I had. Good memories of those two.

A prime example of an interesting car that should be maintained rather than restored.
