Being from the UK I can see the attraction here of bidding & buying
'long-distance'. In Britain, even if you found a car half-way up country it
wouldn't be such a daunting thing to go see it. Also, there do seem to still
be many Triumphs for sale, in most areas so it's easier to find one.
Even when I've seen a bunch of Spits for sale here, although there may seem
a lot you have to remember how big the country is and how far apart they may
be. A scouting expedition could end up costing as much as the eventual
purchase!
