Listers,
I need to tap into the group's collective body of knowledge. As hard as
it is for me to say, I think (operative word is think) I might be
offering my TR6 for sale next spring. I would like to describe to the
list the car and if you would please let me know, based on your
individual knowledge, what you believe a reasonable (boy, that's a
subjective word) price would be. Since this information is probably of
no interest to others, please respond to me directly.
