I don't think so, I'm not considering restoring another in the foreseeable future (except the track Sprint), but I said that last year.

Do a GT6 or a Stag after the TS. The former has the advantage of being pocket sized which should save a bit on body and paint work, the latter has a somewhat familiar engine. Both have the advantage of better parts availability and considerably better profit potential.

Nope, it's just waiting for me to get my finger out & start advertising it.

I quite like the idea of restoring a GT6 & wouldn't mind doing a Stag either. I'll see what I feel like once I've done the TS.

Interesting. I've dropped a note to the chap who used to own my Sprint - he's looking for one.
