Tony, I am puzzled by your "FIND THE BAYLIFF" entreaty to Mr. Martin, who, IIRC, has Bayliff No. 2. Does your post mean that the whereabouts of No. 1 are unknown? I have been afraid to ask about this, feeling that I should just let go of it all, but now that you mention it, I still wonder. Bayliff One and the M-M were stablemates for about 2 years in Xenia. In the Spring of '01, I sold B-1 to a f.d. from Detroit, and have since lost track of it, tho I think there is a picture somewhere on a Bayliff site showing the 2 cars together somewhere. Does Mr. Martin have both of them? I had a chance to buy No. 2 later in '01, but it had deteriorated quite a bit by then, and so I passed on that. B-1 was fun, but the tranny was getting weak, we were about to move, and the $$'s were needed, so I sold it. John Long drove these cars hard, and the un-reinforced drive trains and brakes took a beating from that. He told me he had gotten a ticket for doing 112 mph in No. 1 on an ambulance run. When he delivered the car to me in Dayton in '99, the brakes were very hot and smelled so, from his go-pedal/brakes, go-pedal/brakes dash down I-75. My best memory of No. 1 is driving it out of our driveway the day after the tornado dropped the big tree on it in Sept of 2000. I thought it was a goner, but it survived. Survival is a goodly thing.
Looking 4ward to seeing yew in Piqua.
