Of the fellow who's just put 21K into the restoration of a TR6 and is now
anxious to sell it for anything over 12K so that he can start another
restoration, Robert M. Lang wrote:

Who's criticizing? This kind of conduct is to be encouraged!

On the other hand, such behaviour is irrational at best . . . not exactly
the quality one might want in a seller, much less a DPO and restorer.

Couple that with an eBay listing that apparently uses photos of a car
previously listed with a different description, mis-describes the engine,
doesn't answer everyone's first question (does it have OD?) and a seller
who's had an eBay account for exactly a year--without buying, selling or
bidding on a single item--and caution might be appropriate.

On the other hand, it DOES have leather seats . . .  :-)
