Don't post much, but still read the digest. After buying a 71 TR6, total
rat, in 1982 and driving it into the ground, I restored it for myself in my
spare time. Pics of it appeared in the 6 pack mag in 1987, I think.
Still have it, every time I take it in for the annual inspection some folks
wonder what kind of new car it is. I guess that just means I'm really old.
Anyway, the last car I restored for a customer was an Austin Healey 3000 Mk
III. I got the burled dash from Prestige. It was gorgeous, fit perfectly,
and passed muster at both of the big Austin Healey clubs' concours. If you
know those guys, that's a serious endorsement. They're nuts! (But in a
good way.) They know what the markings on the head of every bolt should be
(yes there are many, and not just grade marks).
That was a while ago, but given more recent endorsements I've seen on this
list, Prestige is definitely worth a serious look if you're ;looking for
quality.
