Hi all,
I am looking to change things around here. Going soon will be my 1956 Harley Panhead bobber to be replace by a 4 wheels of the sports car variety. At the moment a driver TR3 has my interest as I had one back in the early 70s. But back then I also had an Austin Healey which my Dad helped me shoehorn a small block Ford into the engine bay. I was also looking at the MG T series cars, but until I can drive one I am not sure that is 100% what I want right now.
My questions are as follows. Where does one track down a car? I have been on eBay, Hemmings, Bring A Trailer, and Craigslist with mixed results, in addition I seem to have signed up for TROVIT which is sending some pretty remarkable deals to me ( fakes???) If you were looking for a car, where would you go?
Next question; what is everyones thoughts on the AUstin Healey 3000 clones out there? I know they are not worth as much as a steel body car ( man did they go up in value!), but the bang for buck seems to be there.
Being this is a British Car forum I expect some, if not many, of you do not approve of clones. But for those who are looking for a driver vs an investment what do the rest of you think?
Thanks,
Harry
