John:
The $1,000 value adder was due to the Kelly blue book. The
online version does not go back far enough, only the dealer hardcopy
book goes back that far. I bought my TR6 from a dealer, and when I was
negotiating for my car, he showed me the blue book value for the car
(which I thought was outrageous) and the OD was one of a few options
listed that added value to the car (wire wheels and A/C being the other
2). This was 3 years ago now, and the O/D added $950 according to Kelly,
and the dealer told me that was low.

Subject: % of ODs?
Hi All-
I was thinking about Vance's observation concerning the desirability of
the
OD option and its effect on resale.
Has anyone seen any figures on the original sales of vehicles with and
without OD? Triumph must have tracked this sort of thing. What was the
adder of the OD option?
John Cyg.
