Go to BrightaTrailer.com <http://brightatrailer.com/> and do a search for TR8s. You can click on past auctions and see what they sold for, and read the details to see what condition they were in to get the price they sold for.
I did the search and here is the link: https://bringatrailer.com/search/?s=Triumph+TR8 <https://bringatrailer.com/search/?s=Triumph+TR8> There are listings of past auctions going back to 2017. Lots of info.
Good luck,
Rye
