Following an extensive search, taking over a year, I found the car with all the features I was looking for:

	no everflex roof
	low mileage
	excellent leather
	good paint

I found this PMC (proper motor car!) with just 17,000 miles on the clock at Continental Auto Sports in Hinsdale, Illinois. Although the salespeople treated me well, they never sent the tools that mysteriously went missing following my inspection of the car.

NAM-34983 wins second place in the RROC Atlantic Region annual concourse.

The two issues that caused point losses have been remedied. One was the light under the hood, the other was missing tools.

It's almost time for the Texas Regional meet, so the Spur got a Leatherique treatment this sunny afternoon. Mileage stands at 21,986. This is the first time I use this leather treatment product, and hope that it works! Tomorrow we will have to wipe it down with step number two. Okay, so it worked well except for one spot on the driver's seat where it looks like Leatherique lifted some of the dye.

The Spur placed first in its category at the annual Texas Region concours. We put 1,412 miles on the car this week, averaging 14.85mpg on the highway, and 12.36 overall during the entire week.

With mileage at 25,000 it is time for an oil and filter change, lube job and tire balancing and rotation. All else is going well! 2.5 hours worth of labor!
