I don't have a car for sale, although if you found one that needs sheet
metal, I have a complete set.  I really prefer the 4A and have a live axle
model.  I have owned both as well as an AH3000 and an MGB.  The 4 or 4A is
much more of a driver and brings more looks to swell the ego than the more
common 6's.  I have found the 4 engine much easier to care for and if a
disaster ever occurs, it is easier to fix.  I am glad to see more of the 4
and 4A's being restored and shown.  I will gladly give up any popular choice
trophy to see more of the unique cars on the road.
