After I missed out on buying a nice, big block Jensen Interceptor DHC in
excellent condition for $6K back in 83 I was constantly kicking myself - until
I found out TR4 for sale from a contractor that got himself into trouble. The
deals still are out there, you just have to keep an ear to the ground...
