I found a body for a Triumph Banshee - it is supposedly a limited
build car that triumph sold back when the TR3 was current (not sure of
years)

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Rick

the repair shop when I saw this.

Thanks

Not to be confused with the 1964 Pontiac Banshee. See link:

Wasn't Banshee the maufacturer of motorcycles back in the beginning
Triumph days, and Triumph bought them out? Used the Banshee name on
several bikes in the years afdter the take-over. Never heard of a
Banshee automobile project by Triumph - but quite possible several
customs may have been built by someone else using triumph parts. They
were a popular "donor vehicle".

Or it may have been a kit-car made by Banshee Motorcar Co. Ltd. of the U.K.
and built on a Triumph chassis. See link:

Yes, the kit car seems a more likely scenario
