Looks fairly convincing and the commission number is in a genuine =
format. Don=E2=80=99t recall the range but this car looks like one of =
the last numerically. Exceptions are:

=20

Steering wheel looks like one from a 4a as there=E2=80=99s no black =
cover over the spokes.

Triumph word across bonnet and not the squarish TR250 plate offset to =
the left as per steering wheel.

No bonnet stripe. Pity.

No reflective stripes on the hood but then you only got a factory hood =
or tonneau in white or black and this looks like a double duck hood in =
blue. Wouldn=E2=80=99t worry me but then I hate cars that strive for the =
original look.

Fuel filler doesn=E2=80=99t look quite right though 250s and all US =
6=E2=80=99s had different filler caps to rest of world models

Instrument panel definitely non standard but then the originals were =
awful anyway and looked mostly like stained plywood.

They got the colour right. Valencia Blue was as common as hog**** in 68.

Price looks outrageous and it ought to have overdrive for that much.

Andrew,

Insane price. Are the 250's really worth that amount?

The hood doesnt have the stripe in the front so it has been painted. I =
dont believe the 250's had the TRIUMPH name in chrome letters on the =
hood. And didn't the trunk have a 250 logo? Or maybe the rear fenders? =
No photos of interior or engine bay.=20

Looks like a TR4 hood/bonnet and 4A grille with no appropriate badges on =
the trunk/boot either.  No stripe.  But the seats look to be correct for =
a 250. Is that dash correct?
