rhino_mac Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Ebay gets a lot of traffic - certainly much more than a classic dealers own website. It's a great way to generate interest, proof being this thread! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 For this amount the detailing and level of restoration should be much better.. But other question, is this a historically interesting car ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianc Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 The 3 TRs which RAN in the 1955 Le Mans 24 hour race were PKV374, PKV375 and PKV376. This car might well have been a development car used by the Works (Bill, Mike &/or Graham would be able to supply more detail on this), but it didn't run in the race. Nor, was it a Works' entry in any other competition, as far as is known. One wonders whether it has all the special adaptations for long distance racing which PKV374 (owned by the late Jan Pearce, now by his family) is known to have?

Ian Cornish as said detailing is quite poor on this car (which doesnt mean you can have all the fun with it !! but not for this price....) but looks quite regular.

Bill.P. Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 This one has been kicking around within and without the Register for many years.....as Graham says, NOT a team car, and no evidence that it was ever other than a car which happened to be registered in Coventry along with the 3 proper team cars......just possibly might have been a factory development car, but no actual evidence of this that I know of.....Bill P.

roger murray-evans Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 I have had occasion to do a bit of maintenance for an old chum on his long door 2, and I reckon there are invoices from the top 2 TR experts for money spent, that comfortably exceed that sum!! In five years time that asking price won't look overly exceptional, just takes a little getting used to! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
