Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Average older respray with some micro-blisters on the left front fender, numerous scratches and dings on the nose, and many chips around the panel edges. Tired chrome with some huge scratches on the left side of the radiator shell. Shabby windshield moulding. Good interior wood. Lightly worn upholstery. It's not a bad car, but there are too many cosmetic flaws to ignore. This car was made before Triumph started making dedicated sports cars so it's a bit of an oddball, but it has an attractive shape and is a lot rarer than a TR.
Market commentary
Reported sold at Motostalgia's Austin auction during USGP weekend in 2013 for $57,200 in a post-block transaction after getting little if any interest on the block. Everyone loves the dickey seat hatch which has window panels in it and acts as a windshield when it is raised. It is a much better value at this price than it was in Austin, but is no bargain.
