Good afternoon. My name is Nik Fialka. I'm a Navy pilot currently stationed
> in Pensacola, FL. I am the proud owner of a 1954 Austin A40 Somerset
> Convertible. My father bought her in the early 80s and began his restoration
> effort. When I graduated college he gave it to me (it had not been finished
> after 20+ years). So I started turning wrenches, pulled the engine and
> tranny, ordered new parts, wiring harness, interior leather, gauges, etc and
> then deployed to Iraq. I'm home and getting ready to begin my graduate work.
> I have come to the conclusion that I will never be able to finish this car
> and I am looking to send it to a good home. I came across your site and
> thought it would be worth a shot emailing you. My car is in very nice shape.
> She has been repainted (though it's a dated 80's purple and not her original
> baby blue) but the paint has kept her in great shape. She's been in dry
> storage in my garage for years and has never been in the rain. I have a lot
