Hi
This is very true - my friend and I have been bringing cars back from the US
(TR4's and TR250's mainly) and the decent ones are drying up ..... but there
are lots to choose from.
Even 5 years ago I couldnt move for being offered good rust free TR's .....
now I actually have to go looking !
Roll on the big values ...... my TR4a is insured or #20k GBP, nice car but
quite ordinary ...... but #50kGBP if I wanted it built for me! and thats why
the values are ticking up as people realise its better to buy a good one
from someone else than pay double that to build one ....
Happy days !
Tony
