Well, if I didn't already have two Triumphs undergoing different
degrees of resuscitation, you probably would have heard from me ...
though I already have a 1500, and my next purchase (down the road a

MGA or big Healey.
Good for you on the deal! Always nice when you pay a lot less than
you would expect for something you really want.
