Thanks for all the above, the car I’m considering is an 82 convertible so not built in Speke. I’ve had a TR6 and thoroughly enjoyed it and I know the PI quite well, including how to set it up. Whatever I buy needs to fit in my garage with space to work around, that’s the point of it all.
Thanks folks, just an idea at the moment. It’s about 120 miles away so I need to be sure before I drive to see it.
