The only reason I'm looking for a '58 is that the Cessna is a '58 also. I'm
looking for one with lousy paint so that we can "paint to match" the Cessna. I'm sure French Banner Blue wasn't one of the original colors, but quite frankly, I'm looking for something to enjoy, not to show in competition.

Hemmings.com might be better for you. No comps I'm sure, but a good
idea of the latest ground rules. On Mon, 02 Feb 2004 17:10:01 -0800, Jim Weir wrote: What does that mean?

Used to have one - great car to drive. Do you know why they like warm beer
in England?? They have Lucas refrigerators. Frank "Jim Weir" wrote in message ... My lady has just informed me that she would consider a complementary Triumph TR3 to our classic '58 Cessna 182 a good idea. She's willing to cash in her old Chevy on the Triumph...oil leaks and all...for a TR-3 of that era. Anybody got a lead on one of those old rascals?

Triumph TR3 to our classic '58 Cessna 182 a good idea. She's willing to cash in her old Chevy on the Triumph...oil leaks and all...for a TR-3 of that era. I had a TR6 for a while (until the drunk in a Ford Explorer killed it). Here's a couple of links: http://www.vtr.org/buyers-guide/ http://www.the-roadster-factory.com/ Good Luck. --Chris N6414W

Some things to keep in mind if you buy a British road oiler: Why do the British drink warm beer? Because they have Lucas refrigerators. Why didn't the Germans bomb the Lucas factory in WWII? They considered it to be allied territory. How to interpret oil puddles under a British car: Platter size - time for new seals and gaskets all around. Saucer size - everything is normal. no puddle - you are out of oil. What is the one statement that is ALWAYS true about dual SU carbs? They are out of sync. Start looking now for a source of wentworth wrenches and bumper stickers reading "All the parts falling off this car are of the finest English workmenship". I'd send you one but I used the last one on the Jag. -- Jim Pennino, Clean fingernails and British car free since 1985 Remove -spam-sux to reply.

The other question is: Why do the British not have a good computer industry?
Because they couldn't figure out how to make them leak oil.
