Regarding Steve Landuyt's comments about the desirability of a 69 2000, I'd
like to poll the list members (who seem to know a hell of a lot more about
the subject than I do), about just which model is considered the "marquee"
version of the SRL/SPL series. It seems that there are a lot more 1600
than 2000 owners on this list, and I'm curious as to what you see as the
positives of the 1600 vs the 2000. I to own a 69 2000, and I love it. I'm
trying to keep it as original as possible, although I question as to
whether or not that really adds any financial value to the car. I have
never been able to figure out why these cars aren't more sought after. I
was told by someone that the price ran up about 10 years ago when the
Japanese bought whatever they could find, but hasn't budged since then. I
have seen what appear to be pretty decent examples in the $3000 range,
which wouldn't even touch a dilapidated British sports car. Any thoughts?
