mines dropped another half MPG average

Mrs TB's 3.2's MPG has nearly doubled from about 22mpg to 39mpg, on gas.

Mainly because its taking about 20 miles to turn on to gas .  Don't fancy paying her petrol bill

I'm down to close to 23
I don't have to worry about depreciation though being an Omega 

 Don't buy a Saab then, I just about manage 26,, the 3.2 was 24-25,,  and more fun.

Mine does similar mpg to yours but more fun involved !!

 Only fun, is it piles it on quicker than the 3.2,,, but isn't as Fast

I was told that they had sold that car.  Whereas it looks as though they changed selling strategies from expensive websites to ebay.  Speaking from experience, I know of several Lotus Carlton's that have or will have cost their owners 6 figures to get restored into that condition.  The winners will be those that bought them 15-20 years ago (and the spares to go with them), and then stored and maintained them properly, including regular dry road exercise in the meantime.  If you can find a car like that and buy it for £40-50k you will enjoy driving the dream and avoid the painful nightmare of trying to restore one.
