I guess this is not the appropriate time to mention that my TC cost only
$950 _including_ containerized shipping from England. Of course, that
was in 1968... Actually, T-Series prices are a lot more realistic now
than they were a few years ago when the speculators and wealthy collectors
nearly destroyed the hobby by pricing the cars out of the reach of people
who truly cared about them. They still aren't cheap by any stretch of the
imagination, but...
I knew you wouldn't regret buying Mike's book! If reading it cover to
cover doesn't turn you into a bona fide TC lover, nothing will.
