Kind of hard to find interesting old cars and parts on Craigslist at all
these days, or at least as much as you used to.  I think it is a
combination of things getting older and rarer, and people realizing that
the limited local market of CL is not the best place to sell old British
car parts.

I had a stash of old TR stuff I had in my garage for 30 years, not
necessarily the best shape, or rarest parts, but after local ads and pretty
much offers to give away to club members (most of whom also have a garage
full of old parts) ebaying some, I ended up hauling a lot of it to the
dump, sad, but I really didn't want to haul it and store it and have
somebody else figure what to do with it after I am gone.

There are still a few TR3 and TR6 parts that show up on CL around here; but
they tend towards being either gold plated or solid gold.

Here's the latest absurdity: a rather tatty looking, "as is where is" non-OD
early TR3 gearbox for "only" $600.

At least it appears to really be what the seller says it is.

My guess is that most folks have had the same experience I have; ads on CL
bring only aggravation (eg people wanting to "help" me sell something), not
buyers.
