YOU ARE BIDDING ON A TRIUMPH TR3-A. VIN # TS43822E . MY CUSTOMER HAS OWNED THIS CAR FOR OVER 20 YEARS USING IT AS A DAILY DRIVER WHEN THE WEATHER WAS NICE. HE USED IT TO COMMUTE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK WITH GREAT RESULTS. IT REALLY HAS NEVER LET HIM DOWN. THE ENGINE RUNS WITH VERY GOOD POWER. NO SMOKE. 60 + PSI OIL PRESSURE. THE GEARBOX IS JUST STARTING TO SHOW IT'S AGE. IF YOU TRY TO FLAT OUT SPEED SHIFT IT, YOU WILL GET A BIT OF A GRIND IN 3RD GEAR , OTHERWISE,IF DRIVEN LIKE IT SHOULD BE , IT SHIFTS VERY NICE. I JUST DROVE THIS CAR DOWN THE ROAD AND AM IMPRESSED WITH HOW IT PULLS THROUGH THE GEARS AND HANDLES / STEERS NICELY. IT COMES WITH A GEAR REDUCTION STARTER INSTALLED THAT REALLY PERFORMS GREAT. IT HAS A NON ORIGINAL EXHAUST SYSTEM (A STOCK HEAD PIPE , BIT OF FLEX PIPE AND A MUFFLER). IT SOUNDS VERY NICE! IT HAS ALL ORIGINAL INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE WORKING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TACH. IT MIGHT JUST BE THE CABLE. THE SPEEDO DOES BOUNCE AND I'D SAY INACCURATE HENCE PUTTING 0 FOR MILES DRIVEN. THE TITLE SHOWS 53,274 ORIGINAL MILES WHEN RETITLED IN 2012. THE BODY HAS HAD FLAT METAL FLOORS WELDED IN WITH ONLY 2 HOLES IN THE INNER SILLS EXPOSED. ALTHOUGHT NOT ORIGINAL , THEY WERE PUT IN PRETTY NICE. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL DENTS IN THE REAR VALANCE UNDER THE SPARE TIRE DOOR OTHERWISE THE CAR IS VERY STRAIGHT. THE FRONT BUMPER IS WRONG AS IT WAS DAMAGED WHEN THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY AND HIT A TREE. HE THEN DECIDED TO REPAINT THE CAR ,LIGHT BLUE, FOR HIS DAUGHTER THAT WANTED IT BLUE VS THE RED IT WAS. THE FRONT APRON HAD ALSO GOTTEN DAMAGED WHEN IT HIT THE TREE. HE REWORKED THE APRON AND IT LOOKS PRETTY PRESENTABLE , NOT PERFECT. THE CAR ,OTHERWISE, IS RUST FREE AND NEVER BEEN WRECKED. TO SAY THE LEAST , THE PAINT JOB ISN'T SHOW AND HAS THE LOOKS OF A NON PROFESSIONAL BUT IT LOOKS GREAT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IF THE NEW OWNER WANTS IT TO BE A SUPER PAINT JOB , IT WILL REQUIRE A COMPLETE SANDING AND TOP COAT AS THE BODY IS STRAIGHT. IT IS MISSING THE RIGHT FRONT CHROME BEADING. IT HAS A NEW TOP. IT HAS MIATA SEATS INSTALLED FOR COMFORT. THEY REALLY FEEL A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE THAN ANY TRIUMPH SEATS. THE INTERRIOR PANNELS ARE PRESENTABLE, NOT SHOW. THE FORWARD KICK PANNELS ARE MISSING. THE CARPET IS HOME MADE. IT COMES WITH A SONY STERIO / CD PLAYER WITH NICE CHROME COVER SPEAKERS IN THE REAR PANNEL JUST OVER THE REAR JUMP SEAT! A NICE FEATURE IT DOES HAVE SIDE CURTAINS THAT ARE STARTING TO SHOW THEIR AGE BUT PERFECTLY USEABLE. NO SPARE TIRE AS NOTHING TODAY FITS HE SAID. THIS CAR COMES WITH A CLEAR DELAWARE TITLE. THIS CAR , I FEEL , CAN BE GOTTEN INTO AND DRIVE IT AWAY LONG DISTANCE. LOW STARTING PRICE WITH NO RESREVE!!!!!!!! HE IS RESTORING A TRIUMPH TR250 AND HAS A SMALL GARAGE, IS THE REASON FOR THE RELUCTANT SALE. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. DO NOT BID IF YOU CAN'T PAY OR HANDLE REMOVAL OF THIS CAR. A $500.00 ,NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT,IS DUE THROUGH PAYPAL,WITHIN 72 HOURS OF THE END OF THE AUCTION. IF YOU DO NOT SEND THE DEPOSIT WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD,I WILL OFFER THE CAR TO THE RUNNER UP AND YOU ARE OUT OF THE DEAL. IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO THE DEAL. IT SEEMS SOME PEOPLE FEEL THE DEAL ISN'T FINAL TILL THEY COME SEE THE CAR..THAT IS NOT THE DEAL. THE REST OF THE PAYMENT SHOULD BE IN CASH , A WIRE TRANSFER OR POSTAL MONEY ORDERS. ANY WAY YOU PAY,THE FUNDS MUST BE CLEAR BEFORE THE CAR LEAVES. NO EXCEPTION. THIS INCLUDES POST MONEY ORDERS OR BANK CKECKS. THE BALANCE CAN BE PAID WITHIN 3 WEEKS TO GIVE YOU TIME TO ARRANGE PICK UP OF THE CAR. I DO KNOW A SHIPPER THAT CAN ARRANGE TO SHIP THIS CAR TO ANY PORT IN THE WORLD IF NEEDED. I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP WITH A LOCAL OR LONG DISTANCE TOW,BUT YOU WILL BE PAYING THE TOW AND IT WILL HAVE TO BE PRE PAID BEFORE THE DRIVER LEAVES. I INCOURAGE INSPECTION OF THE CAR BEFORE PURCHASE. I HAVE A WORK SHOP AND LIFT IN NEWARK DELAWARE. I'LL TRY TO MAKE TIME IF YOU WANT TO COME BY. I'M NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANY THING. AGAIN,PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. THANK YOU JIM KNIGHT.
