Not exactly. First car I ever bought (Soph in HS) was a 1957 100/6. Cost me $200, and worth every penny!

Need to add some of the early B&W Emma shows to my netflix queue. Realized I'd missed alot. (for some reason the UHF channels never showed the one with the snake at the club.

They've always been just out of my price range.

I can recall seeing a 3000- looked like it was in nice condition- in the late 80's for under $15k (maybe even a hair under $10k)

Woulda shoulda...

Oh hell, who am I kidding, it would have been deystroyed and I would have been walking.

Well you're right about that.

But at least I didn't buy it off the showroom floor. It was ~9 years old when I got it.

Sold it a year later for twice what I had paid, and bought my first Morgan +4. Now that was a cool car!

Stop and pick me up

Not shiny, but British.

These I actually owned, hmm, maybe I shouldn't admit that.

Both of these are gone as well as a 1958 Magnette, two MGBs a 1955 Rover P4 90 and the 1966 Rover 2000TC. Just this one left and I may be putting it up for sale as well.

It's a pretty good runner.

Saw one of these today northwest of Chicago. An MGR V8 -- 4.9L Rover V8, right hand drive -- very nice!
