(11-9-13) From Rich Blackmarr:
"In the May 7-9 Laguna Seca SCCA Regional
race program Bob Cole is listed as entrant in a black No. 88 DP Triumph
TR4, while Bill Martin is an entrant in a blue No. 83 DP TR4. My
guess is that the Fuchs picture shows Bob Cole as his period race program
advertisements for Cole Auto Imports show a drawing of a dark TR4 race
car with a narrow stripe down the middle."
(5-13-14) From Michael Singleton:
"The car in the picture would have had
to have been Cole’s car. The Bill Martin TR4 was light blue (Iris?) with
an offset stripe in red white & blue (main stripe was dark blue, smaller
red stripes flanking it, and a white background under everything, as I
remember). I got to work on this car at about this time. The car was out
of the Hayward Auto Imports dealership, owned by Martin. Jack Moran prepared
the car." |
