Hard to believe that it’s been 19 years… I know I’d promised a Messerschmitt today, but I’d forgotten the date. Tomorrow.
TR6 Concept (TR9?)
A quick sketch of a car I’d like to see updated… I’m pretty sure that this was one of the cars upon which the Miata (Mazda MX5) was based – but, although I love the Miata, it lacks the hairy chested brutishness of the TR6… and thus, this offering…
