Well I don't know what they sell for in england, but I could have bought one
in a local wrecking yard for $600, and it came with a triumph tr-7 that
ran, drove and was licensed for a shipping crate. My brother in law sold
three of them for $100. What makes you think there not available here?
Better yet how much ya give me for one and how long do I have to find it?
