Default Latest acquisition, "barn find" 968

And then there were four. Greg and I just picked up this beautiful Wimbledon green cab. 1 of 12 (1 of 8 if you factor in the black interior). 6 speed, factory 17" cup 1s, hi-fi sound. And if that wasn't enough, 18,800 original miles, one family owned with full documentation. She is a beauty in great shape with 100% original paint. She needs a little clean up and a few minor items sorted out but is pristine. More to come.

Incredible! Between you and the car, not sure who's luckier.

Love the color combinations and the Cup 1's. Very nice looking example.

Word of mouth. Fortunately, it was only 5.5 hours away.

The part that I cannot imagine in my wildest dreams is having the discussion with my wife saying "yes, we do have three now, but wouldn't it be nice to add number four?". I, on the other hand, could suggest the change from one to two but they would be my last words ever in this life.

Jeff, this is me expressing my jealousy on multiple levels.

Try "they are investments that are sure to appreciate" or "it is a father and son project" and see if you have any luck

Nice...you now fall into the collector category. It's between enthusiast and hoarder))

With four, I see an outbuilding in your future.

Nice! It looks like you are starting a colors collection. What color is next?


I am somewhere between you and Nathan. My wife says I can have more, she just wants to know where I am going to park it.
