Free the TR Seven!

TR7 1980 Lexington, VA 141213

Yeah, that’s somewhat in reference to Chicago in ’68…

One of the entertaining aspects of driving long distances cross-country is you never know what you’re going to stumble across. Case in point, the caged TR7 seen here, which YFE spied in Lexington, VA, earlier today. Obviously in very rough shape (with evidence done on the rear wheel well, presumably by a previous owner), it’s a 1980 Canley-built, 5sp car (VIN TCT113834UCF). It was on display at an antique store appropriately named The Antique Mall, along with a ’52 or thereabouts Ford F-6 pickemup truck.

At a glance, probably only good for parts but if someone out there is actually interested, the shop’s on US 11 north of downtown, College Square Shopping Center, 760 N Lee Highway. Phone number is (540)464-5555.

YFE’s spending the night in Huntington, WV, about as far west as you can get in West Virginia before hitting Kentucky. Hope those who participated in tonight’s holiday lights drive hosted by the MG Club of St Louis had a large time…Prez Jesse surprised me this afternoon by calling about the event, part of an effort to get the SLTOA Wedge owners out in force. Then again, I do believe I surprised him even more when I told him I was about 30 miles north of Charlottesville, VA…

Home tomorrow!
