Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Not unlike an MG T type, the frame is pretty sturdy and a pretty substantial wood framed body I believe but not overly powerful engine for that weight. The dickey, or rumble seat would require someone much smaller and more agile than me to get in and out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysboystoys Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I think he needs some photos out in the sunlight. Hard to see in the shade, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 From the looks if it it might be less work cutting down the trees than moving the car. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercub Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 For such a rare car with unique background it sure is being treated like a dumpster. I think at that price it should have the drivetrain intact and be presented like someone had some appreciation for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Seems cheap to me. Complicated , expensive cars to restore . In the UK at least they command some pretty healthy prices. The generaly low market value in North America leads to quite a few cars of this general type , early Sunbeam Alpines, Riley dropheads , roadsters and these Triumphs being sold back to England where they have a much stronger following. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I still regret not getting a project TR2 that was complete with extra parts for about $2500. Close to me. Still bugs me. I had an early TR4 at the time. I had about had it with huge heavy American cars. You don’t necessarily buy this car for sporting fun. More just as a heirloom fun to show car.

supercub Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) You buy one because you really really enjoy wrenching on cars. I had a Sprifire that was very needy, but it was fun to drive.

Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 They are cool but as Greg pointed out, less appreciated here. I thought one woukd have been a good stablemate for my TR-6 once. Not as rare I think as seller says as I have seen a few, but none really nice. This CT car is a good driver but not a full restoration. Guy hits a lot of events though. I recentky saw a complete running car for $14k fb marketplace I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 In the world of regrets, I turned down the chance to buy a nice running and driving TR-3 for $800 in 1974. Living in an apartment at the time and no garage made it somewhat easy to pass on it. In retrospect it was a dumb move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 1969 a guy wanted to trade me a 300SL Roadster for my '66 Porsche 912 plus $500. I was scared off by look of the engine...it looked like something from the far future! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 There was one of these perfectly restored at the Radnor Hunt Concours a few years ago. First and only 1 I have seen in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a lot of interesting cars over the years, but I think if I could only get one of them back it would be my old 912. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
