My sentiments exactly. I laughed all over Italy at the German Triumph
lingerie everywhere. I ended up buying the bride-to-be some Italian lines,
but I couldn't resist buying her ebay items like 110017432733 with the
family monikor already attached while there a month ago. T. Liberti
P.S. FWIW, I agree with Randall, if you were investing, you'd never buy a
TR... you'd invest elswhere. I tend to think TR, MG, and Healey values may
all drop as the 55 and above demographic drops off. I just don't see enough
follow-on demand for our cars. I see a glut of classic LBCs in the years to
come. I think supply will outpace demand for LBCs in 5 to 10 years. You'd
need to buy cars where the flip scenario is the case, and such cars may be
beyond what you want or might have to spend to get a proper return.
