I keep thinking back many moons ago, about 1977. I saw the TR250K for 
sale at a swap meet at Los Alamitos (horse) Racetrack for something like 
$7500. Thing is, I actually had that much in the bank. I also remember 
passing on some early '60s Ferraris in the $4-5K range. Oh well, that's 
life in the big city.

Cheers,
Kurt O.
