Hmmmmm. I found a 1975 TR-6 in a barn a few years ago and bought it for about $3,500. After putting over $15K into it, it’s probably still worth what I paid for it.
Triumphs are prized only by their former owners...................
My aunt bought one of those new and has spent a small fortune on it over the past few years having some place restore it.
LOL know what you mean. I have a Willys CJ6 w way too much $ in it to ever make back. But it is fun.
IMHO restoring an older car should only be for your personal enjoyment b/c you never make $ on them, unless you are the junk man and you never pay over $100.
My rule #1 in restos - go for the better body over the better parts. Parts can be swapped.
Probably, but look at the bright side. You propped up the auto restoration society for a few extra minutes.
My brother in law had ine if those, and 15k doesn’t go very far for serious parts.
But that could have happened at any point from the time the car rolled off the Triumph line. That was one of my highly-desired cars of my youth and later came to the understanding that I dodged a bullet that my dream didn’t come true.

But you own one of the best looking vehicles ever made...in my opinion.
