Well, a pair of Triumphs... first a 1961 TR4, the exact same photo seen on uncrate.com (congrats if they swiped your pic!), and a TR3, very nice!

The thieves!!!
It's all good. They, sadly, are not my Triumph's, but they are my photos.
 
So nice to see the Triumph and BMW pictures. I have a 1959 TR3A awaiting restoration. It's the only new car I ever bought. I soon learned the economy of buying used. Even later I learned the economy of rebuilding wrecked vehicles. I'm currently driving a top of the line Lexus 2002 LS430. Got it with under 24,000 miles on it for under $12,000. I also once had a BMW 1969 1600-2 and 1972 2002. These were really fun to drive. Thanks again for the pictures.

Oh, yeah. Just a quick side story. One day I was driving my TR3A when I was slowed by some road repair work. One worker was asked by another worker what I was driving. The second worker looked at the back of my car and replied "Tri..um...um..um...he's driving a TRUMPET". True story.
 
Haven’t seen a Cortina in ages. This one in perfect showroom condition from the looks of it, and with Miniltes, no less. This isn’t a city, it’s a museum.
 
'67's had vent windows, so it's '68 or later.
Ah, thanks for that detail! I rented a '67 once while my '62 Volvo was in the shop, and drove it from Seattle to Vancouver BC for the day. I don't recall the vent window, probably just took it for granted!
 
It's something I've picked up watching Mecum auto auctions on TV. I don't think '67's would have had side marker lights either as I THINK that was something that came into vogue in '68.
