<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I was able to attend the estate sale of Joe Richards and his wife Dottie. Must have been several hundred people in attendance with two auctioneers working at the same time to get through all of the items in 1 day. I would not say Joe was a TR parts hoarder but he certainly had a ton of pieces and parts he accumulated over the years. Plus lots of memorabilia from the TRA events he organized. Probably a dozen or so people interested in the TR items and the bidding was very active. Prices were reasonable and I scored some very good deals. How about a wide mouth TR3 cowl in near perfect condition for $200? TR3 complete engine for $50. A-type OD for $37. I left with two dozen fenders and other body panels for $7. It was worth the 3 hours drive. Dottie still has the beautiful black TR3 that Joe restored for her. Probably worth close to $40K. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 10:10 PM Joe Alexander <<a href="mailto:joealexandervintage@gmail.com">joealexandervintage@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">Yes, Joe Richards stuff.
