Title: TCS $$$ Ebay UK
Post by: Lou Drozdowski on Friday,May 06, 2022, 09:40:21 AM
Every once in a while a trendsetter appears, this one may be breaking the price envelope of our beloved little cars. From all appearances this nut & bolt resto will boost the market for all of us...I hope it does.

The only thing that jars a little is

"recently taken back to bare metal, etch primed and repainted in this iconic Lotus F1 combination"

Maybe they fitted metal bodywork too....

One would hope that "bare metal" is just a euphemism!  ;D

Why does it annoy me so much when sales hyperbole is presented as indisputable fact?
"....though slightly heavier, the Twin Cam was a better engine in every regard".

I did not compromise when seeking my S2.
I did not buy until I found a TS head and Weber equipped car.
In my opinion this is superior to the overly expensive TC.
