Dave McDonald Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 I note a TR5 in Valencia Blue for sale in the TRR Classifies Ads, CP406. That's the one immediately before my own TR5, CP407, which was also originally in Valencia Blue. That had a 1993/94 restoration in British Racing Green before I acquired it in 1997. I'm now doing a second full body off restoration after which it will be in Royal Blue. Nice to know that at least 2 consecutive production cars are still around.

DenisMc Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Hi Dave, That is good to hear. I just looked at the advertisement and it would appear to be a bargain at £30k. Regards, Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Flinn Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 A strange M.O.T. History, how can a car be freshly undersealed for 15 years?!! It would appear the Chassis will need careful inspection? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would appear the Chassis will need careful inspection? If you check the mileage its not surprising it still looks fresh but I get the impression its been added to every year. Stuart.

trchris Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 I noticed this when I checked the mot history I'm with Stuart suspicious? I'm surprised the mot tester didn't use his corrosion tool!! for those who don't know its not a hammer its a aluminium T shaped plastic headed sort of toffee hammer with a flat screw driver end on the handle for scrapping and before anyone says you cannot remove underseal to check whats being hidden you can lightly tap and poke and possibly refuse to test if the underseal is excessive but the manual will have to be checked for that Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PodOne Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 And another 20-25k to bring up to snuff and you would have a nice car. Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
