mdavis1991 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hello all, I am planning to return to TR ownership after a gap of 20+ years, following a well trodden path I suspect. I have found a car that I am interested in but wanted to sound out the experts on ball park pricing, been out a long time and cost has certainly gone up! So planned car is a 59 3A, ex USA San Diego, converted to RHD with a steering rack plus other knock ons, ie electric fan, alternator etc. Body very good but could do with a repaint. Interior good plus resonable weather gear, used but clean. Wire wheels and converted to overdrive. Price circa £16.5 thoughts? Thanks Malc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashley James Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) IMO In the UK, a really good and sorted TR3A would likely sell for between £20-25,000 and more on the Continent. However trading conditions are uncertain to say the least, so who knows. In the US, the same number of dollars is typical.

david johnson Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I also think sounds about right. For this price cars need to be all steel, no grp and properly formed steel panels correctly joined, without bodging. Sound chassis and some useable upgrades. Marko has one around that price which sounds good. Look carefully though, there are still some dogs out there I am told. David. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
