Don,

Looks like they may be able to be restored but 12 grand? They are 
totally shot from inside and out. And I bet the engines are seized up as 
well. Looks to be a total replacement of everything but the body and 
frame. Even if you do it yourself it will take a lot more than 12 grand 
to do just one. Are restored 3's getting upwards of 20K?

And are the younger kids interested in a total restoration?

Based on who I see at car shows and car hops, the 20 - 50 year range are 
not a bit interested in the classics either US or European. They only 
seem to like the small Hondas with those huge mufflers.

I wonder from time to time what will happen to my 3 Triumphs when I am 
too old to drive them. At least they look nice and are in good condition.

Bob
