Listers, I just recently sold a 1970 Karman Ghia conv. that I have owned since 1973, purchased from the original owner, who was a doctor at the German Embassy. The car had 24 K on it when I bought it

I'm sorry, but I disagree. I once did work (restoring old car radios) for a guy who had a garage setup like you describe. It was fabulous. He had some cars that he had stored for years. Receipts for

At the risk of offending you, which I don't want to do, I learned two rules of thumb when I started looking for my TR6. The first rule was that anyone selling a "used car" is lying about something.

I think there is something that has been missed when you read Freds email. Fred DID offer the use of his pit for the prospective buyers to look at the car from all angles. If said pit wasn't availab

I also disagree, to some extent. I'm sure "your word is your bond", but when I'm looking at a used car I definitely believe in "trust but verify". A seller that won't let me drive the car (with him
