"Bob, I might be missing something (usually am), but wouldn't it have been easier to buy the car while it was in Tipp City?"

Probably a lot cheaper too! Didn't Ian ask around $3,000 for it? It was bought and shipped west then sold again and shipped east. The car has done a lot of traveling without moving under its own power.

the wife had not thought much about which project was going to be next. the series 4 should be at the indiana united in october. after that we start on the lemans. the short story is that we were at a local steakhouse friday evening and i mentioned that bill still had it for sale so she thought about it and when we got to the house we called and bought it. a fellow sunbeam owner named dan and i left my house about 7:00 sunday evening with our small closed trailer and picked it up at bill's house in reno wednesday afternoon. i guess it was meant for me to take a road trip. we traveled thru two days of rain and hit several snow storms tuesday. the only glitch out happened at winnebunco? wy when i kicked the gmc down for a long pull on a mountain at 75 mph. the rpm's were high and as it happened, for an instant # 6 injector was lean on fuel and the check engine light came on. a quick scan and a reset at the dealer and we were off. we left reno about 9:00 am thursday and we're in rock springs wyoming now. we should be in ohio saturday. i covered 700 miles today.it was 2338 miles from my house to bill's. i guess last august just wasn't the time for us to buy the car.

I was looking for a finned Harrington when I found my Series III. My husband is a domestic car guy, but tolerates my love for various British cars and occasionally helps with repairs. The Tiger II is a compromise between the two, we are restoring it now.

It's great to have several women in the Sunbeam hobby.

Bob,
I can give some pointers on the gelcoat repair on that top. I have a series A and my HLM top to do.
