He was a fan of 4-banger Brits, found a cobby example in the DTW area.

Patched up the rust with lath and bondo and rebuilt the engine (with Dad's help) then had a neighbor paint it in the garage.

His daughter drove it around for a few years, but learned it was not as charming when the weather went bad and the little English heater was overtaxed.

I recall he bought a parts car that **may** have been a Tiger (!) - it had SCCA race graphics and stickers but no engine - as a go-by and littlebit source.
