Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Restored to super high standards and engine rebuilt to significantly higher performance than stock. Beautiful paint and brightwork. The side and rear glass all show scratching but nothing too serious. The interior, engine and underbody look nearly new.
Market commentary
Rarely does a Triumph have this kind of attention and money spent on it, which is true for both the restoration costs and the purchase price here at auction. The TR250 combines the good looks of the TR4 with the six-cylinder power of the TR6. They're rare and valuable but this price is beyond top dollar for one. Then again, it wouldn't be possible to replicate this car for less given the attention to detail and the upgrades.
