A lifelong friend recently died. He bought a 69 TR6 new (White w Red interior). He put it in storage some 20 plus years ago.  I have known this car it's entire life. Was excellent un wrecked history when it went to storage.
His brother is wanting to sell the car to cover medical expenses. I will look at it first of the week to evaluate storage damage but know it was in a secure dry building. looking for input on a fair value for this car
