Craig:
Congratulations on the Amphicar! I remember wanting one when I was
younger (actually, most of the cars I wanted when I was younger I still
want. So many cars, so little money--and so little garage space). The
idea of a dual-purpose vehicle like that always seemed pretty elegant.
Considering how rare Amphicars are I'd think that tracking down parts
for one would be excellent preparation for tracking down parts for a
Tiger :-)
Hope you're able to add a Tiger to your stable. Welcome to the list.
Best Regards
