[6pack] TR6 Hardtop value

[James_]

Yea, been casually looking for about 7 plus years. Almost all need restoring. Now that I live in the Pacific Northwest I thought it would be nice to have a hardtop. We only have 3 months of perfect weather. 
Plus I love the looks of the top. 
Thanks for all the input on pricing. 

Cheers

James
