Norman Verona Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Ah, foresight. I could have bought a very good MG TC in 1964 for £100. My uncle talked me into borrowing money from the bank to buy a brand new mini, The mini was probably the better bird-puller so I bought that. Seen the prices of TCs lately?

peterg Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Many years ago (late 70s I think but can't remember exactly) someone I know had the chance to buy: a) a 1969 Lotus Elan for £1000 or b) a 1969 Ferrari Dino 246 for £2000 . . . . . . . . . . . . yep, he bought the Lotus...
