<VV> introduction

[BBRT]

Welcome, Roger,

Glad to have you.  I think you will find a wealth of information here and 
contacts to participate with us in various events from Concours to 
performance events. I urge you to consider and join CORSA, the national 
club.  There are local chapters all over.  The club pays for this web site, 
insurance for events, provides a pretty fine magazine, etc.

Good Luck with your Spyder, and yes, the Kelsey-Hayes wheels are quite rare.
