Uncanny as all get out. So, I had not heard anything about this car situation today and was writing a post in this thread about it and how I didn't want to bug Mr. Todd about the car and was about to ask what you guys would do in a situation like this, and low and behold, he texted me telling me that he had messaged the man that he had sold the car to and had not heard anything yet. I asked if I could call him and he said yes so, we had a very nice conversation about the car. He is a very nice person and a British car nut, his words not mine. He gave me the name of the man he sold the car to, said he didn't have a phone number but would continue to try to reach the man. We had a great talk and he said he could hear the passion I have for this car and he would continue to try to get in touch with the guy and will stay in touch with me. The man's name is Jay Flowers and he is in Thomasville, Georgia. So I may try to look him up on Facebook. I don't have Facebook but my daughter can look him up. Baby steps!!!

Update: Okay so Mr Flowers now has my contact information so, we will just have to wait and see what happens. Stay tuned!

You should send Mr Flowers some chocolate.

$2800 doesn't seem too bad. Of course, there are a lot of "ifs", but I suspect just about anything on these can be fixed or replaced. It's not like they're an old Ferrari or Lambo or something where 90% of the parts are NLA. (I'm assuming)

and maybe

Update: Mr Flowers has contacted me through a text message and I have arranged to call him in the morning!!! Oh my gosh, I am not going to be able to sleep tonight!!! I'm gonna need a few shots of bourbon!!!! [emoji38] [emoji1787]

Good luck Hobie...boy do I understand about memories being attached to cars, making them something beyond what their driving experience is.

Try not to be too excited when on the phone , the potential seller will know he has a fish on ! Good luck 👍

I think he already knows. Doesn't mean Mr Flowers is going to get greedy- hopefully not.

Right. I am trying to stay level headed with this. Bottom line is, it's just a car, and car that needs work, a project, but it does have tons of sentimental value, just gotta stay calm, level headed and try to remember, it's just a car.

Nonsense. It’s your long lost first love and she’s back in town!

Kidding of course (sort of). Good luck today!

Hobie's gonna pay somewhere between $2,800 and left nut for this car.

I'd say that's absolutely accurate.

When you get it back, you definitely need to convert it to an EV and paint it green! EVs are awesome and practically fireproof!

;) :D

Good luck Marty! I hope you get it.

In some ways, I'd love to have my first car back, but also not really. What I want is a good version of my first car, not the actual car. I'm sure it's rusted to bits in a junk yard by now.

I think a hydrogen fuel cell TR6 would be the way to go.

But EVs do better burnouts!

Back OnT

I'm not sure if my favorite TR6 would be blue or BRG.
