Things you don’t expect to see while taking a guided tour of Vancouver Barracks and Pearson Airfield, WA…  While heading from the Pearson Field Education Center, friend Ron said, “Hey, when you get up to the corner, look right.  I think I saw some sports cars.” I replied I’d seen the Jaguar/Land Rover shop on the corner but he said, “No, around the corner, there are some other cars that look British.”

Yeah, whatever…got to the corner and good grief, a 1976 TR6 and MG TF.  At that point I left the tour and checked out Commonwealth Classics, apparently one of a number of British repair shops in the Portland-Vancouver vicinity.  Another TR6 sat inside, along with an MGB GT, Austin-Healey 3000 up on a lift sans wheels and two Austin-Healey Bugeye/Frogeye Sprites.  And then one of the proprietors drove up in a light blue TR3 that’s a ringer for Dave Massey’s car.

A very pleasant surprise.  Now, where did our tour group go…?
