This was a lovely treat for Sunday morning pleasure.

2 questions, did any Bulldogs ever get sold and did the TR7 idea ever go anywhere other than the sketch |

They only sold the prototype. The wedge style Towns showed in the sketches are a little generic so you could point to the early 80s Midget concept having some similarities. |

Who bought it Chuky? Looks like it was a victim of the oil crisis. |

I enjoyed this picture of the Bulldog testing at MIRA, before it was smartened up for show duties.
