If you look at Norm Millers website under "The Treasure" he is listing a Mk II
for $55K firm that is much better but not blemish free. I think putting
$30K into this one that just sold would net a better end result that purchase
of the $55K one. But I am still just a beginner in all this so who knows. I had
talked
to my wife regarding this ebay car. If it was going out under $20K I would
have taken a shot at it if for no other reason than resale without any
restoration
when the economy clears up.
There is a 1980 Talbot Sunbeam Lotus in Belgium listed on ebay now that I would
love to
own. Sadly I think registration and smog in California would be a problem.
I had thought that after 30 years cars became exempt from regulation but seems
I was mistaken.That 30 year rule ended with 1975 model year. A 1976 or later
car will never be smog exempt.
