[Fot] Triumph Values

[Jeff Snook]

I saw a TR3A for sale for $49,900 this week on the internet!!  Guy must be
crazy, but it does help to keep the market strong.  Nicely restored ones seem
to be moving in the $20K to $25K range.  Of course if you restored one from
scratch, you could easily have that much (or more) in one!

There will be two nice TR3s racing at Sebring in a couple weeks, Mike
Jackson's and mine.

Vroom, vroom,

  While it is great to see the value of our Triumphs rise, I'd hate to see it
  rise artificially, as a big air bubble and then burst.

  I think it is likely that the demand for TR3A and TR4s is on the rise. There
  are some that argue with me.  But the numbers seem to agree.

  I's also like to think that the FoT has given the Triumph more credibility
  off the track and on the track.  Thus more value and respect.
