I have two of these beauties. In both cases I have done a frame-off
restoration, increased the engine BHP, added overdrive, and installed
custom-made roll-bars and leather bucket seats (plus R&P steering, electric
fan etc). I'd like to think these cars are in the $30 - $40K range. I was
in a TR restoration shop in the UK last week where there were six TR3 going
from between $60 - $80K.
Having said that, eBay rarely sees more than $25K for a TR3.
My guess? Perfect restoration and upgrades ~ $40K+: Really nice frame-off
restoration $20 - 30K: anything less be very careful.
Do folks think I am way off ?

Subject: [TR] Relative values
List
Recognising that most things are only worth what the buyer is prepared to
pay, I'd appreciate a
little feedback on the likely US value of a 1959 TR3A. Condition is alleged
to be 'showroom' (but
whose showroom?) and while probably not concours, it looks an interesting
car. Any feedback can be
in US$.
Cheers, Jonmac
