   Crazy days on BaT for sure.  It used to be a site to find fair cars and values and better for buyers.  This TR4 was a really nice car, no matter the 4 or 4A part.  The car was refinished to a very high standard and $20-30K just ain't what it used to be.  Just try buying a good car for $20K, new or used.  The average price for a new car is at least $38K.   The TR3 was a well cared for car in the past, obviously by a Triumph enthusiast.  It had lots of past issues showing through the paint and chassis, but it should provide lots of pleasure to the new owner.     I have seen really bad TRs get these prices on BaT and really excellent cars sell for similar prices.  That's what I don't get.  The best cars should sell at twice the price of the funky ones, but it's obvious most bidders just don't know the difference.  They just see a cute car with shiny paint that reminds them of the good old days and $20-30k is seemingly the entry level cost for a classic car.  BaT is definitely a sellers market now.     Crazy days,   Dave H.

I also saw a 3A with some paint cracking and blemishes sold for over $20,000.  Can it be that our cars are finally becoming investments?

I’ve been telling my wife just that for years but she just rolls her eyes and tells people, “he’s Irish……”
