I have two of these beauties.  In both cases I have done a frame-off
restoration, increased the engine BHP, added overdrive, and installed
custom-made roll-bars and leather bucket seats (plus R&P steering, electric
fan etc). I'd like to think these cars are in the $30 - $40K range.  I was
in a TR restoration shop in the UK last week where there were six TR3 going
from between $60 - $80K.

Having said that, eBay rarely sees more than $25K for a TR3.

My guess? Perfect restoration and upgrades ~ $40K+:  Really nice frame-off
restoration $20 - 30K: anything less be very careful.

Do folks think I am way off ?

Recognising that most things are only worth what the buyer is prepared to
pay, I'd appreciate a 
little feedback on the likely US value of a 1959 TR3A. Condition is alleged
to be 'showroom' (but 
whose showroom?) and while probably not concours, it looks an interesting
car. Any feedback can be 
in US$.

Cheers, Jonmac
