RobTR3 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 On Discovery channel last night (11/01/2021). West Coast USA one owner TR4 in BRG stored for 20 years. Changed - clutch, RMS. Water pump, dynamo, new door skin, new wheels etc - not complete restoration but looked good. Bought for £5000 sold for £12,000. Worth watching. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wondered that, more likely an addition by manufacturer or owner like side stripes etc. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted Thursday at 01:04 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:04 PM I wasn't overly impressed to be honest with the programme - the hood and frame was folded down and the whole lot put behind the rear seat squab - I always thought you had to take the hood off the frame before folding it behind the rear squab - that's what I've always done, and I know I wouldn't get the hood behind the seat as well as it's tight enough with just the frame - I hate to think what it did to the precious hood. And as for importing and fitting a TR6 door skin, well that was just daft in my view - I would happily have panel beaten out the crease/dents and retained the whole of the original door. I must be on a half empty focus this morning with my nit picking! I'll see if I can find the other half and then that will cheers me up Cheers hic Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rvwp Posted Friday at 08:09 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:09 AM Typically Wheeler Dealers. 40 man hours to bring a 20 year plus stored car back to road use? No mention of the work that must have been done to rebuild brakes/suspension bushes etc. There was probably a team of mechanics working on the car off camera undertaking these tasks otherwise it would never be safe. Mind you I can never understand how on many of the American car programs they seem to be able to build/restore cars and just drive out of the workshop, part finished, and drive off into the sun without any official checks? That said, it looked like a very good sound car and very reasonably priced, seemed to be a bargain. Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
