This is my third 02 in as many years.  How did I get here and why?

My first 02 was a roundie tii that I completely restored and sold.  It's story was detailed here.  The sheer cost of the restoration and the fact I already have other high level restored cars resulted in a change in strategy....

Hence my next car was to be a 3 season driver.  The concept was to get maximum usage and enjoy daily driving of a vintage classic without worrying about every raincloud or stone chip.  It's story is documented here.    I LOVED this car and it filled the garage gap exactly as I hoped.   I used the car daily and enjoyed every moment. 

Which brings me to the car in question.  I had been keeping an eye out for a roundie tii with sunroof at a driver level comparable to the 74. I found this new 73 02tii which meant the 74 had to go.   

So I have ended up with what I hope will be my ideal 02tii for the long haul.  Roundie with sunroof at a level I can enjoy daily for 3 seasons
