Sorry, I never heard of PN being in a spit and I'll bet money Kas doesn't recognize the car. We could ask him. That being said, A friend in LA has
a goofy assed Saloon that Paul built for the American Trans Am series. No expense spared and it's only run in a couple races over it's lifetime.
Shame, something about studio contracts and racing contracts forced Paul out of the marque. There's a bunch of delightful stories about the car
though. If we can draw Kas out...Steve

You mean the Triumph 2000 Sedan known as "Le Taxi" - amazing piece of "roundy round" car building - that's what Kas calls it. The whole shell
was separated from the floor and dropped before being rewelded. Cost thousands to build - still looks good today
