A Note from Marianne Lamb:
Seen at t he 2022
"My husband Paul and I bought our
1976 TR6 from Thoroughbred Motorcars NBCC Car Show

on West End Ave. in December of 1986.

The original owner was Athens Clay
Pullias, Jr, son of the president of
Lipscomb College. The car had 10,000
miles on it at that time.

Paul and I drove it for recreation only
and it was in top shape. Paul used to say

it had original paint, had never been
wrecked, and had low mileage. (It now
has 30, 700 miles on it).

Paul died in October of 2020, and I
have been trying to keep it up and take
care of it the way he would. However, in

do have some I sent to the insurance
company if you need them.

If Paul were here today, he would be
proud and honored that his "baby"
finally got the recognition it deserved.

Hopefully, he will think I'm doing a good
job of taking care of the TR6, though he
probably still abhors my driving skills!"
