Well this thread got a little heated. I hope the new owner of the IIa enjoys the purchase.
There is some mention of money spent, not spent. I think if that is your main concern then an old British truck is not a good idea. I may be one of the few but my IIa is a hobby and a way for me to de-stress from my job and also a personal reward. I don't play golf, my father does so I know how much that hobby can cost. His hobby allowed him to de-stress from a very stressful quality control-engineering career and we didn't go without so good for him to have worked that hard to afford it. My IIa doesn't cost anything near what golf does and I enjoy the wrenching and the reward of driving it. My family is not going without because of my IIa-if that ever becomes an issue the IIa will be for sale.
I know it can be fun to banter about but we should keep in mind the golden rule. This forum is too much fun to let people get angry about an e-bay ad.
Have a good week everyone!
