It found me. A man named Tad Todd had the car and had listed it for sale on FB Marketplace back in September. Someone from this forum sent him a link to the thread on here discussing the Triumph TR6 and he saw my posts stating the VIN for the car and he messaged me telling me that he had my old car. The FB listing had pictures of the car and data plate. I didn't see his messages until a week before Thanksgiving but was able to connect with him. The car had been sold to a man, Jay Flowers, in Thomasville, Georgia. Mr Todd heard my story and history I have with this car and helped me get in touch with Mr Flowers. Mr Flowers and I were able to talk on the phone, he heard my story as well and sold me the car for what he paid for it, this took all of 5 days from start to finish.
The car was stored from 1998 until sometime earlier this year. There are bumper stickers, and a sticker from a Monza exhaust system I had installed, that are still on the rear bumper. I put those stickers there back in the late 80s. See the Union Jack front plate? My parents gave me that and I put it on the car a few weeks before I graduated high-school. The grill badge was on the car when I bought it. Anyway, hope that explains a bit. I knew the VIN, memorized it all those years ago and it helps that I have the temporary paper tag from when I purchased the car on April 28, 1984, and it also has the VIN on it as well. Yep, she's mine, no doubt at all!!!
