[TR] Thinking of selling my 4a

[BearTranserv at aol.com]

One of the things that makes the future of our economy so rosy is that yes,  
many baby boomers are enjoying their retirement and/or employment sucesses , 
but  also, we are starting to die off and the next generation is inheriting 
literally  trillions of dollars that will further boost the economy.
 
Manufacturing is up, interest is down, should be fine by Christmas.

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.

I think  that part of the strength of the "cash flow" comes from the  fact  
that the profile of most owners who are willing to part with 4 to 6  figure  
restorations, service work or purchases is that of 50 years  or older folks 
who  
have strong income or solid retirement  investments (or both) AND have a  
strong 
emotional connection with  these cars from past experiences or  ownership.

All that said,  this pool of cash flow is 1) fading....(albeit we hope  very  
gradually) from assorted human factors and 2) not being   replenished.  So, 
to 
finally answer your question, I wouldn't  hesitate to  sell now - just be 
realistic in your expectations  remembering that often  you can't get every 
dollar 
back from your  restoration  expenses.
