Everyone;
First off, I certainly did not say that Wayne had faked anything. Merely
asked if the car was a real TR5 LHD (a relatively low production model) or a
converted TR250, as was previously advertised by TO. While presumption of
innocence is a worthy attitude, when dealing in old car sales, one must be
cautious. My inbox has several emails that advise the same. Additionally,
years ago Wayne sold me a car with an "open" title (signed off by the owner
in blank, and passed though many hands without transfer). Rather than drag
out the gory details, it took an attorney and much griping by Wayne of the
cost to get the car processed by the California DMV into his name and then
sold to me. The car sat for 5 years in my garage until I cooled off enough
to work on the car. What, me, hold a grudge? I'd love to have a TR5, but
with rusty RHD examples selling in England for 8 to 10,000.00 USD, its seems
reasonable to ponder the pedigree on the car in question. Anybody else out
there willing to sell me one under 5 grand?
