This isn't quite as pretty as the iris blue one on BaT, but looks 
about as original, maybe moreso.

If I was closer geographically, I'd bid enthusiastically.  But, a car 
like this can have a lot of surprises.  I've experienced the 
car-from-afar love affair and been stiffed twice now.  The dream car 
arrives on the truck or the dock, and my heart sinks as I see hundred 
dollar bills floating away from me as the car was not what seller 
claimed it to be.

I spoke to a seller of an MGB today who bought his car several years 
ago on eBay, only to find out after the purchase that the car was a 
rust bucket and the cost to remedy $7,500.  Ouch.  I also know of a 
TR250 buyer who had a similar experience and now has a $30,000 TR250.
