Sounds like a real bargain! Is it a drop head or fixed head? You guys down in England have certainly got a lot more to choose from than we do in North Scotland!

Hay, F1 Spyder, with your theroy I think I might be in trouble.

I've got 3, including the spares car.

I am having trouble resisting the urge to go & look at a 7
Sprint because I don't have one of them.

& I've got 20 acres. God help me.

I am moving to 5 acres and already have 4 TR's. One has no engine but the body is so very good that I am loath to break it up. (Rust Free Australian car)

Imagine if I had a dry 20 Acres like Hasbeen!

Jolyon

P.S. My other half already wants me to sell, saying "Why do you need so many cars?".

I think you should explain to your good lady, that some men are
collectors by nature. Some have 5 cars, but only one woman.

On the other hand, some have only one car, but 5 women.

Would she prefer you changed the object of your collecting urge?

You may find she helps you find even more cars.

I haven't bought one yet! Nearly got one though, but I need a garage to store it in. Would it be okay this winter??? I'm planning to build garage in our garden early next year!

I made a comment on the forum I read about the number of TR’s one should own. The man we saw in Queensland on the 20 acres has 3 and is looking for a 4th. I said that I was doing the same on 5 acres, does that mean that I can have 4x as many as I already have (5 acres x 4 = 20 acres)
