It has some things about it some people might not like - I'm not particularly fond of the engine treatment - but if he likes it, that's OK. I happen to like British Racing Green. Many do not.

And the suggestion to spend $20K more for a Kirkham may be good advice, if he has 20K more to spend.

To each his own.
I think you ought to reread the thread. I don't think anyone said "it's not a good car." I said it was gorgeous and it is. Hydramada said it "is one drop dead beautiful ride."

The asking price is $80,000. There are many alternatives at that price level, including a used Kirkham that I suggested as an alternative for $85,000.

You come to a forum like this, you get opinions and I think most here are advising caution on purchasing a $80,000 SPF, based on valuation, even though it's one helluva SPF.
