Bill and Bill:
Quite right. I had a sight-unseen offer for my semi-basket-case XK150S
roadster last month for about the same price that one can get for a
rough, complete, but drivable, coupe. Being a real masochist (not to
mention a fool, said the wife) I declined the offer. I just didn't like
it when someone comes waltzing out of the blue with wads of cash, but
who isn't interested in the human stories associated with the car. WHAT
AM I SAYING!!!!?? - I would have had enough to get another Twinkie, and
a good running one too!!!!

coupes are the ones that you want to drive long distances. <snip><
<<Mike, Thanks for the encouragement. Unfortunately, these sales prices
are for nicely done open cars, not home restored coupes. Regards, Bill
