Best advice I received from Ken Mikos when looking to add a TR6 after
owning a Spitfire for one year was to get the best car my budget could
afford and not look for a bargain, unless I was specifically looking to do
a restoration. Took his advice and have enjoyed the car every moment as the
previous owner completed all the restoration. Ken was dead on that the cost
and time spent in restoration would be time lost enjoying the driving
experience, and likely much more expense than expected.
Some do want the challenge and satisfaction of a good restoration project,
and turn out beautiful results but they generally agree with Ken's
prediction on time and cost.
