Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as a two-owner car with 82,971 miles. Good older paint with a few light chips and blemishes. Tight-fitting older replacement top with light discoloration and dull windows. Original interior with a small rip in the passenger's seat. Numerous cracks in the wood dash and the steering wheel cap, neither of which are unusual on an old Triumph. Some paint chipping off the wheels. Older undercoated chassis and generally maintained underneath. Good older rechromed bumpers and original brightwork. A clean, never restored but well maintained TR4 that looks like a good time.
Market commentary
This car's originality is commendable, but the consignor seems to expect restored car money and is in no rush to sell. It was a no-sale at $31,000 at Russo and Steele Scottsdale last year and a no-sale again at a $20,000 bid at Mecum Portland. The consigner took another shot on Sunday and came up even shorter at $18,000. The message should have sunk in by now.
