I'd like to second every ones comments about the fun of driving our LBC's.
I have two of them which I use every day when they are both working. I
maintain them myself and occasionally, I have to take one of them out of
circulation to do maintenance. I have had the TR4 since new in Jan 1966,
driving it every day to work for 17 years, before retiring it, to backup
transportation. I also have a 1971 Stag, which has been a great car. I
have taken it to the Roadster Factory from Florida three times. This year
I plan to take it to VTR2005 in Rockford, IL. I use my Stag for long
distance cruising, and the TR4 for local roads. Theses are great cars! I
have overhauled both and I agree it is much cheaper to buy parts then own a
new car every 4 years. I decided when I retired in 1997, that I no longer
required two new cars in the garage. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee for my
wife, to haul grandchildren around, vacations, and haul the boat around. I
am happy in my LBC's in all but inclement weather, when they are not
without leaks. Why couldn't the Brit's have designed a good top? I get
looks from the youngsters where ever I go, often with a thumbs-up. FT, how
was England last week?
