With the help of the list, Scott Kohl in particular (thanks again
Scott), I have located a Triumph 2000 that I would like to purchase.
The only problem is that it is located in the Portland Oregon area, and
I'm in Austin, TX. At best it's a 2400 mile drive, which the seller
assures me the car can handle with no qualms (one of the reasons I'm
interested in this car). Shipping it would cost at least a grand, and
that takes the purchase out of the "reasonable value" category. I've
thought about taking a hiatus from work and flying up and driving it
home, but I can't get off any time soon. The seller has said that he
might be willing to drive it part of the way. Anyone in the far
northwest planning a trip to TX, or some portion in between Portland
and Austin? Any suggestions? I really don't want to try and find a
"college" student to thrash the car home, but a trustworthy TR owner,
yeah, that's the ticket! Anyone know of any other good 2000's or 2500's
available that are closer?
