I had a 1952 Triumph Renown for 7 years and just sold it about 3 or 4
months ago. I had to sell it quickly as I was relocating and had no place to
keep it. Mine was complete, running and driving. I loved it. The car looked
great, but needed a lot of love. They all do. Mine had a crack in the engine
block and leaked about a quart of oil every 10 miles, mostly blowing past the
rear seal. They sure are cute. The car felt terrifying about 60 mph.

There is an active club in UK, but a Razoredge owner in the states is a
lonely guy. The Triumph Razoredge Owners Club website is
http://www.trocltd.com/. There is also a Renown group on Facebook.
Spare body panels and trim are essentially non-existent. Same with
proprietary rubber parts.
Usually Triumph Razoredge projects go in the $5,000 range if they are
complete and not basket cases. Restored Razoredges command a lot less money
that a TR3, usually around $10,000 or $12,000. There just isn't the demand for
them. I sold my Renown to a friend in Utah who will love it and keep it on the
road.
You will not make money with the car. You'll love it though.

Subject: [TR] 49 triumph razorback
I just stumbled across this car. A 49 triumph razorback. Been sitting for
years. Can anyone tell me about value? This one needs restoration. Value now
and finished?
