Bill Sohl answers:
Actually, Bill (me) drives a TR-250 each day.
Current TR-3 prices range from $3000 to $10,000 or more.
Below $3000 and you probably don't have a streetworthy
vehicle. Obviously, the high end ($10,000) is the concours perfect car(s).
Hardtops are not (IMHO) worthmuch. They are not
common, but who really wants one on a TR-3 anyway?
**** Those people who have a TR3 as their daily commute ( admittedly a dying
breed ). That hardtop is nice to have when the wet stuff starts. It's use
during the "unpleasant season" also prolongs the life of the soft top. An
advantage of the hardtop is that it adds a bit of rigidity to the car. A
disadvantage is that it makes the car seem louder to the driver. All the sound
just sort of bounces around in there....
