Thanx Damo...

I'm looking for an LT and I saw an ad of a cossie from december '94.
I don't know when the Lt's finished and since the car is 250 miles away I didn't wanna risk doing the trip just to find it was an ST as it probably is.

I asked the owner by phone and he doesn't know what it is. He didn't even know there were LT's and ST's...

I'm not giving up, but the thing is, cossies here are few and far between, and I'd like to avoid importing one because the risks are bigger...

Nevertheless the search goes on...
