Daewoo & Zimmer in one place? I'm not sure it's even a good idea to have those two words in the same sentence.

I gotta admit the Lagonda and the Stylus both surprised me.

Could this be the retail arm of Wheeler Dealers?

Judging by the website, I'd bet it's a one-man-band dealer. Some guy selling cars on the side. My company insures a lot of dealers like this. They have websites that look very similar to this. He certainly has a taste for the strange and unusual.

I wouldn't mind having the Spirit ES. Dad had a '90. I've had an '89 and a '94.

I never was a huge 9000 fan, but that 900 SPG is making my socks go up and down so fast it might set my leg hair on fire.

How in the world did he find a running example of one of these?

I'm more surprised how he has so many unusual cars with such (relatively) low mileage and (looking like) good condition.

They exist! I've seen them at car shows!

Wait... come to think of it, I didn't see it actually drive there... it might have been trailered...

The Google-maps street-view of the address is interesting. I think I found the shop a bit to the west of where it pins the address. There's an mid 80's Charger and 4 dr Civic on the street out front and what looks like it might be a Jensen-Healey in the lot.

There is actually a whole forum for those, and I read a bit about them and they don't sound all that terrible. I actually kinda like them, but not enough to pay what most of them go for (between $8k and $150k depending on what model it is exactly).

I saw one running in Birmingham a couple of years ago with Ontario plates, so it even made it here from a different country!!!!

For those not in the know Canada is closer than Ohio from here :)

That car was in production for something like 14 years! They must have sold 2 a year.

I learned to drive on a 505 wagon. It sat 8 and was super nice inside for that era.
