Tim T Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 The advert suggests that it didn’t sell at the last auction and is now being offered again by its current owner since 2018, unless I have misunderstood the copy. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tania Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hi there very very interesting reading. I’ve been looking at early TR5s and was pleased to see CP1 was up for sale (holiday TR5 browsing on line!). I’m gathering from the convo that this car isn’t really worth what it’s on for. Having been sold at auction recently for 30k (ish). I’m always keen to have an authentic car, and if not to restore as much as possible but at £54 k that doesn’t leave any room for restoring. If anyone wants to add comments / warnings please do so before I waste a trip to Oxford! Tania Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He previously raced a TR6 in the same series as me. Owner of several Classic cars, inc an E Type, his private circumstances would not require him to try to scam anyone. In my view he is a thoroughly genuine chap who you should have no qualms about dealing with. Like me a technophobe without a Facebook profile, I can understand his advert being channeled via his wife. Contact him, view the car and make up your own mind.

tr graham Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Correct Stuart!! I know there seems to be a very high number of tr5s that survived but this is numbered some 3000 more than were ever made !! graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tr graham Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Stuart also shows an invoice stating CD6729L which would indicate it being a Tr250 built car , a heritage trace would confirm , and I suspect be unobtainable for a vin CP 6729 graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AJ2014 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Stuart I believe it changed to ‘open to offers around £38k’ after the auctioned closed… Regards Adrian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Car and classic advert seemingly now changed to indicate its true identity. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ2014 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 How do you actually value a TR250 to TR5 spec conversion car? It’s always going to be a TR250 by commission number (in this case). Regards Ade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
