I've actually found the opposite can apply. Two Heralds I've formerly owned
ended up in the hands of a TSSC member I know quite well. One I sold him
directly, the other he acquired several years after it left my fleet. Now
both of these cars ran well with no significant problems in my ownership. In
his hands, both have become complete nightmares! They have sudffered from
clutch failure, head gaskets, fuel pumps - the list goes on! This guy
suffers from HIS OWN maintenance - I doubt that either car will survive long
enough for him to become a DPO....
