I bought my Bugeye from Justin with British Sports Cars. Nice guy but get an independent inspection from a club member.
So, anyone on the list in the area, and up for a scouting report?
I actually had a little work done on parts of my 4A way back when (brought pieces in, not the entire car), and despite being a "full service" shop, they were very happy to help a poor college student (very unlike the Triumph dealer in Bakersfield).
I got the go-ahead from my wife. Not quite as enthusiastic as Mrs. Brosky, but I'll take it.
Now I need to figure out if I want to fly down and drive it back, or buy long distance and have it shipped sight unseen. I don't really want to pay for round-trip plane fare AND shipping....
What I like about this car, besides having FI, is that it looks so original and complete. Even if it needs some debugging, I think sorting out an original car would be easier than dealing with "fixes" by a PO. I'd have the summer to sort it all out, before I became completely dependent on it for daily duty (and even then, I still have the 4A as a back-up vehicle).
Anyway, lots to consider!
