We don't have an In Memoriam for Bob but he sent us
this a couple of years before he passed.
This photo was taken at the TE/AE United held at the INDY
Speedway in 1986. The car is parked over the brick start/finish
line. That's me at a much younger age. I bought the car in December
of 1982. We still have it along with two other Le Mans, several
Alpines and a 69 Alpine GT fastback.. The original owner in Annapolis,
Md had an accident in the late 60's and the side chrome pieces
were removed. TT kept the mouldings and rear hatch window. They
are on the car that John Prittie bought from TT and restored.
I think Jerry Logan now has that car. This car passed thru the
hands of Wally Swift and Tiger Tom without being driven until
the wife talked TT into selling it to us. It was the third Sunbeam
to join our collection alongside the series 4 Alpine I've been
driving since the 60's. The white one in the attached photo was
one of the cars owned by Ian Spencer. A lot of the restoration
was done by Doug Jennings @ Tiger Auto in Dayton, Ohio. Bob Webb
