olddog, I have had a lot of sage advice and comments from you over the years, either in response to some of my posted questions, or to questions from others. I am indebted. Thank you.

So in response, here's my 2 cents worth to your question.

If you win a lottery, then buy a Kirkham as you will then be able to maintain it in the manner and condition that the initial investment demands.

If you don't win a lottery, buy an ERA. Drive it and enjoy it knowing that you can maintain it on a reasonable budget, not worry about having to fix dents in delicate aluminium alloy bodywork and if it gets wet, its painted 'glass body and painted chassis will only need a wipe-over to maintain in perfect condition.

Cheers,
Glen


**edit: olddog, I didn't see your post above mine until after I posted. I would have to agree with Tony's comments. Best of luck with your decision, my friend.
