[Fot] Bring a Trailer TR$

[Paul Ricco]

Scott,

Agreed.

That is why when things have been for sale for 2+ years on every site imaginable, we do not even waste our time bidding on them.  This thing has had more turns than a door knob at being sold.  We have seen for sale just about everywhere in the last 2 years.  I find that dealing with sellers like this is just a complete waste of time.  $17,000 is a lot of money for an unfinished project of this sort. It has been heavily modified and will never be viewed at the same value as a truly restored car by the collectors who pay a premium for originality.  

The surprises are a guarantee.  If it were that way to easy to throw it together and go for a ride, the seller would have done it.  There is always a reason why people give up on these projects, and they are never telling the entire story when it is for sale as unfinished.

No doubt it would be a fun car to drive when finished, but it could be an expensive and time consuming ride to get there.

The gap between what’s here and a finished car is potentially a lot of work and some surprises.   https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-triumph-tr4-4/ <https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-triumph-tr4-4/>
