Cary,
There a very early TR2 in Minneapolis. The guy had an optimistic view of
it's value, but I think he finally sold it for around $2500. It was quite
complete, but had some wrong pieces, like a later bonnet. It was a candidate
for a complete restoration, in any case.
One interesting point was that it was built as a "red" car, according to the
build paper. As an early TR3 with a low 3 digit number, there were
reportedly only three red "test marketing vehicles" at that time and this
one did not fall in that series of commission numbers, but a little bit
later. Just another minor mystery.

I recently sold a long door which was original and complete but rusty and in
need of a full restoration. I accepted $2500 for it. That was low I think,
but the car was stored at my folks in Colorado and needed to be moved, and
it was to be professionally restored so... I'd be interested to hear how
you turn out on this. Dale
