One possible reason he was in the back - he couldn't
fit on the passenger side of the car. That third seat
puts the passenger seat up a bit.

>>Hey List,
>>
>>Wow. Quite a response to my post about buying and selling. Money does
>>seem to get the list talking...
>>
>>One person commented that I already own two cars and why do I need
>>another? Well, first off I really own just my 67 2000 Solex. The 70 2000
>>in my stable was originally going to be my daily driver while my 67 was
>>going to be redone, but my girlfriend got the bug and is going to "buy
>>me out" of the 70 2000. She wants one of her own. Can you blame her?
>>
>>Also, after much consideration and bullying from friends and vendors, I
>>have decided to do a full restoration on my 67 2000 solex. So I want a
>>car to have so I can drive it while my solex is gone. I would like it to
>>be a three seater. Next to the 67 2000, it is my favorite car of all the
>>roadsters.
>>
>>It is amazing how many people are posting about wanting a car or are
>>asking the list to help friends, family or acquaintances buy cars. No
>>wonder the asking prices are going up! We seem to be enjoying an influx
>>of interest.
>>
>>So never fear folks, I will get my three seater. It may take time and it
>>will certainly take money, but in the end I am going to have someone
>>drive me around in my 63 or 64 so I can see what it is like to sit in
>>that really cool third seat.
