Hi Tom,

Neglecting your (vision) pattern of usage, I personally love the SIIA ones. The gearbox only has synchromesh in 3rd and 4th, meaning that you will have to grind your way through 1st and 2nd, ooh, I love that sound. The dashboard are all steel, no plastic, meaning you could bump your head as hard as you can. The headlights are on the center, meaning you need to have an owl eye at night.

All of this plus some rough and bumpy ride (and a lot of money for restoration), you can say I am the proud owner of a series IIA!

I own a 3 years non running '61 SIIA, yet I kept pouring money on it :) hoping that someday I could ride on it (my vision).
