I emailed the seller of the 35,000 mile TC that had been for sale on eBay,
and asked him if he was a dealer of a collector. (He owns 7 other TC's)

Hi Jim,
I am a collector, not a dealer. (I'm a retired neurologist who is a
sucker for an original, low-mileage old British car. I love the
anticipation involved in finding, and then buying, them. After I have them
for awhile, I usually get tired of them and sell them. It's exciting, and
it keeps me out of my wife's hair!)
Believe it or not, I've got another '48 black with green interior TC
that has a very similar story to the one I just sold. It also has the
original paint, interior, top, and
side curtains, all in similar condition to the one on eBay, and also has all
the tools except the tire pump. It is extremely original, and it looks as
good as the one I had on eBay, and has only gone a documented 12,000 miles
since '56 when the guy I bought it from first bought it used from a dealer
in Boston. The only difference is that it had some minor "updates" to it
in '56 when he bought it, like added EXU turn signals (no new holes were
drilled to mount these), aluminum rocker and tappet covers, and 7" sealed
beam headlamps, which were mounted in the original TC buckets with the
original headlamp rings by using those "step-down" things. It also has the
same '50s style bumpers that the one I put on eBay had. I'll sell it for
$20,000 now, or see what happens when I put it on eBay in the next few
weeks.
Regards,
Bob
I have, of course invited him to join us
