Really cool to see some of these cars with such low miles. Check it out. One of the hosts doesn't know anything about cars and gets a little annoying but it's cool seeing the cars themselves. I have a friend who is there with his brother ready to bid on a couple.
The new Little Indian that I picked up today has a serial# 40130 and I would like to figure out the build year. Can anyone steer me to the Little Indian History site that I have seen mentioned here? Thanks Bill.
