Paul Harvey Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 5% VAT and that's it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pogo Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I can just about afford the VAT on it - anyone want to lend me the rest? Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Not sure if this is BSC selling it on behalf of an owner or if its theirs, unless they paid a lot of money for it then that price is more than covering resto costs as it was in pretty good condition to start with and as far as I can ascertain from the rebuild pictures they didnt take the body off the chassis or even renewed the loom.

Marc R Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 A very nice Italia was on the boot of Triumph Club de France during the last Rétromobile show in Paris in Feb '15, I was on the boot and spend nearly 3 full days looking at this car... since I understand why your are keeping an eyes on this desirable Triumph.

Tom Fremont Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Seems in range of a 250 GT Pininfarina coupe pricewise . Lover of TRs that I am I'd have to go with the V12 on Webers for the same money . I mention it because of their considerable similarity in appearance .
