openroad Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 This car was up for sale at that price a month or so ago. So is a somewhat uprated car worth more than a freshly built Original Spec car ? Cheers, Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Flinn Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I've been keeping a close watch on TR5's and TR250's for sale and a lot are listed on the Car & Classic site at anything from £15K-£30K for TR250's and £20K-£50K for TR5's. A lot of them are at Dealers and some have been listed for several months without selling, it would seem that anyone on the lookout for a 5 or 250 Isn't prepared to pay that much? However the few Privately advertised ones that I have chased up recently have all been sold, the last one I chased was a Valencia Blue 5 located in Yorkshire (Still on the website although sold!), fully restored 7 years ago and I was told it sold within a few days for the asking price of £35K.

marko Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I've just sold 2 dark blue ones Gary both around £40k... I dont always advertise them as I have people waiting for decent cars.... I know where there is a very nice fully restored white TR250 - badged as a TR5 and on PI....for £35k An equivalent TR5 would probably be £10k more.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 With less than 1200 examples in RHD originally it's high time IMO. What else is available [ of the era ] in a roadster won't have the fun quotient nor any edge on the Italian styling. It gets to wag that marvelous Lucas P.I. at its lessers, too . There have been at least a couple of examples of Michelotti TRs fetching ~ $100K in the US in the last few years. It's not out of the question that a TR may be worth its restoration cost someday soon... . Time may yet vindicate the restorer of mine, who in the spirit of giving me solace once the ponderous costs had been tallied said " Time will heal you " . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't be my old 250 would it Mark, living in the Southampton area?? Just interested, it was badged a 250 when I sold the old girl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
