TR3a 'Not Sold' at auction, now on ebay


Recommended Posts

LHD isn't popular in the UK. Auctioning it on a UK auction isn't reaching for the right potential customers. No person from the Continent will make the trip & hassle of the UK auction rules. UK buyers can choose from lots of RHD TRs. Selling it on eBay to the Continent is a better option! Having said that: the seller should be more clear about selling and shipping outside the UK.

I'm surprised that the auctioneers can get so enthusiastic about the mechanical condition when the seller advises that

 

"FROGGY will need to be Run Inn as all work has been garaged base and not road tested."

 

A bunch of new parts doesn't necessarily make for a 5 star mechanical condition, not in my view anyway.

 

Cheers,

 

Alec

If you're following the Triumph TR3 Facebook group the chap that owns the car has posted it up on there. A quick nose on his timeline shows some of the restoration process and the car as he bought it.

 

His name is David Orne. It's all been done at at his house and has been painted by him, but it looks like a decent amateur restoration. The floors etc in particular looked solid.

As Alec said, just goes to show that the 'devil is in the detail'.

 

I have seen many 'NUT & BOLT REBUILDS', that quite frankly, required starting from scratch again!
