Good Afternoon, All,
After spending several weeks looking around, I have come up with a question
concerning the purchase of an older Triumph. I wanted to try to take
advantage of the collective wisdom of this list.
>From what I can see there are basically three venues for purchasing and
older Triumph (or any "collectible" for that matter.) These are:
1. From a private owner - this is generally someone in
the "local area."
2. From a private owner - can be from Hemmings, eBay, or
other similar venues
3. From established dealers
My question is, which way to go. I am looking for a car that is basically
"restored". I am not looking for hi scoring concours car... just a car that
may need some minimal work to complete. This is due to time constraints on
my part. Between family and work, I do not have a great deal of free time.
However, I am looking for car that can be a daily driver (makes a later
model TR6 or Spitfire likely.) It looks like the dealers get some clean
cars, but the price sure seems higher. I am nervous about anything off of
eBay. Hemmings I do not have enough info to make a fair assessment. Local
area, at least I can go touch, feel, smell, drive the car. Any feedback
would be appreciated.
