For years I’ve made my pal Len Frank’s love for old Italian cars the butt of countless jokes. I’ve done it in person, behind his back, and even in print. I’ve made no secret of my feeling that Len’s weakness for these old crocks is a fit subject for public ridicule. I am about to…
Looking through the many club magazines that were submitted for the Moss Journalism Awards (and I really have to congratulate you on your splendid efforts), there were a couple of features of club life that were the subject of comment and opinion over and over again. I noticed in several instances, that the age-old question of…
Safely back home in California, now seems a good time to reflect upon our traveling Moss Road Show this past summer. Over 18,000 miles saw us attending 19 different British car oriented events, bearing the Moss message that we really care about keeping your classic going strong because that’s all we do! As we last…
Writing your own introduction in Moss Motoring can be a rather tricky thing to do, so on my way into work this morning I was trying to come up with a clever intro. When I flicked on the radio at my desk, it occurred to me that is the very same twelve dollar AM/FM radio…
The TR6 is not a car that one would I generally think of as a base for a custom-bodied special. TVR, in England, did use TR6 mechanical components in some of their coupe models in the early ’70s and Hathaway, a California-based kit car company, did a handsome pre-war Fraser-Nash-like body to fit to the powerful…

Initially, it sounds like a cliched advertising slogan thought up in days of yore, when the sports car was a symbol of wind in the hair and the type of freedom that comes from driving along country lanes with the hood down. However, freedom, in this instance, stands for something very…
(What started out as a Question and Answer interview, developed into several hours of intimate glimpses into theTriumph legend, from a man who spent thirty years in the Triumph engineering department. Here are just a few of the stories that Tony shared with us on his visit to Moss Motors in October 1991. —Ed.) His…
Like it or not, computers are a fact of life. Nowadays, it seems like they’re everywhere, and depending on which one you run into, they’re either a great help or a headache. Our experience here at Moss is probably similar to many of yours. We jumped into the computer age with both feet in 1970…
I make no apology for returning to this subject, after the hints we dropped in the last issue of Moss Motoring By now most of you will have heard about the proposed “clunker” bills circulating around Washington D.C. Such legislation would remove older cars from the road, and have them crushed to reduce air pollution…
