this may not please you (I know _I_ didn't like it) but I got quoted about
$3000 for a _mint_ mk. II with o/d, factory hardtop, new wire wheels, and
leather seats (I don't think they're original, but they look it). has the
wood steering wheel & shifter knob. chrome is perfect, really the only
way to describle it is perfect. I figure the paint alone must have cost
that much. I figure the only triumphs that are _really_ marketable are
the tr5s, or the 250 to a lesser extent.
stinks, but I like my spit better anyway. 'course, I'm still looking for
that cheap tr4a...
brad? ready to let it go...?
