I was  just poking through the online version (http://tinyurl.com/2j68ug) of
the  Moss sale catalog and noticed that they're selling the Ford Sierra Type
9,  5 speed conversion for $4895 but on sale for $4395 with free shipping. So
I  surf on over to the Quantum Mechanics site (http://tinyurl.com/2nrfyd)  and
find the same ( as near as I can tell) conversion for $3375 with  shipping.
Anybody see a difference between these two items that justifies a  price
difference of over $1000? This sure makes Herman's $1800 Toyota 5  speed
conversion seem like a bargain.





Check _http://stores.ebay.com/British-Starters_ 
(http://stores.ebay.com/British-Starters)    He sells the same kit for $3000 delivered, and has one posted 
asking for "best  offer".
 
I agree Herman's $1800 sounds good too.  The Toyota 5 speeds were  going 
around here for $125-$175 each.
 
I sure wish he did an MGB conversion kit.

As he stared at her ample  bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage  Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, 
perched prominently on top of  the intake manifold, aching for experienced 
hands, the small knurled caps of the  oil dampeners begging to be inspected and 
adjusted as
described in chapter  seven of the shop manual.
