Hi,
If having two is "unbelievable", what do you say if I have three?
(pictures on my web site www.accesswave.ca/~hamilton) They are scarce and
body parts are impossible to get but mechanical stuff is available through
a few selected sources. I wish we Sunbeam Talbot owners had a "Curt" to
deal with.
Later,
Bob
