One of my all-time favourite cars.
I had the chance once to buy one of the Borgward saloons but I was hanging out for the prettier TS Coupe at the time. The owner of the coupe suddenly swapped it for a Karmann Ghia and the saloon owner decided to keep it in the family for his son as by this time they were becoming scarce. He had one of those VW 1600 fastbacks that I could have bought but by this time Healeys were calling ... I still have hopes of getting hold of a TS Coupe one day.
I'm looking forward to seeing what this thread throws up. Should be interesting.
