My Fellow Spridgeteers,
I know a lot of you are 'cross-drivers' (I come out of the closet in many
'drags' myself). Here's you chance for what sounds to be a very nice TR8,
at a (more than) reasonable price. At this price I may have a senior
moment....
As most of you know, I have a TR8 and enjoy the heck out of it (right Jon).
I've been driving it as a daily driver now for the last eight months...snow
and all.
It is one of the most neutral handling cars I've owned; 9ll's 60's Vettes
(yes, including my '67 435/427 as well) and a very long list of others.
So...spoil yourself, buy a TR8 and see what a 'modern' LBC is all about.
Take care and Merry Christmas.
