<HTML>Hello: I am part of the Educational Foundation offering the Roadster on eBay. Thanks for the kind comment. We think it is a great car. Unfortunately we have run out of steam in the restoration process. There will be a on site viewing in a heated well lighted facility next Saturday the 16th of Jan. from 10-3pm for anyone interested in inspecting it first hand for themselves or another potential bidder. Please read the eBay posting for details. Thanks for taking the time to read this message.

<HTML>Is it just me, or do many restoration projects get to about this point and run out of steam? With individuals, I have noticed they accomplish the bits they enjoy working on rather rapidly, and the project then ends up languishing for years.
Just curious...

George, I too wonder just how high this Stanley will go. From what you can see of the photos, the work done to date looks impressive.</HTML>

<HTML>Hate to tell ya,,shiny cars sell for more,,,ones that don't run lots less,,Being correct,,?? can go either way,,To me the good workmansip is most important, and often shortcuts are taken,,,and too frequently poor toolmaking ability creeps in as well as bad mod's,, It would be nice to know what they did to the engine valves and bearings,,,,If you like it, buy it,,If then you dont like it ,,put it back on the market w/a new paint job,,Trader Ben</HTML>

<HTML>The '23 Stanley roadster sold to a California/NH buyer for $40,800. If all of the work is as good as it looks, the buyer got a very good buy. Restoration shop time is expensive.</HTML>
