Alec Pringle Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 It's not live on DVLA, so must indeed have been off the road a very long time . . . . . Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dpb Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm tempted..but shouldn't really. How much do you think its worth? £10k? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rex Wyer Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm tempted..but shouldn't really. How much do you think its worth? £10k? Hi, Surely you jest Someone on this forum is asking £ 9750 for just an inner TR250 body shell and 2 doors, so I expect this will finish up at £ 20K at least.

mikeyb Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 "Asking" is not necessarily "getting" :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Suspect circa 18k. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I tried to buy this when it 1st came up, he wouldn't give me a price to buy. This was over a week ago... Guess he wants eBay to dictate the price... Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alec Pringle Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Don't you just love ebay sellers who are unwilling or unable to understand that listing an item on auction represents at least a moral contract . . . . . The moment I see a phone number or a mention of the item being listed elsewhere, then it's time to move on . . . . TW seller. Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Flinn Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 It seems a common thing with TR5's on E-Bay, they get listed briefly then removed after a few days when they've had loads of exposure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR NIALL Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 There's one way of solving the Removal TRick,EBay should not allow it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Burgess Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Just spoken to the seller. He has been offered £15 and refused it. He now has three fighting over it offering £17.5. I reckon that if he waits he'll get 20k. Dave B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Fremont Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 How much on top to restore it to a good standard, £50K plus?! " Good " is the operative term, here - considerably more for a concours winner. I've seen as much as 4000 hours put into a TR ( it was a TR6 ). Do the math... This is why the prices are going up, and will go far higher for the TR5 and older ones soon, followed by the TR6 ultimately IMO. Ample precedent is set by other marques, Porsche chief among them.

stuart Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I did know about this car a while ago as he inquired about what it would take to rally it! I think its been off the road for about 30yrs hence not known about by the register and DVLA. He didnt give a lot for it so just trying to cash in as he realised he didnt have the money to do anything with it. Its actually not that bad or would have been had he not started taking it to bits.

Cheers Andrew Perhaps he is...but he who coined the phrase didn't specify where they're born, did he? Anyway, the presumed audience for this instance is UK, I wot .
