YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1968 TRIUMPH TR250 CAR. THIS CAR WAS BROUGHT TO US APART FOR RESTORATION BY A GUY WITH BIGGER DREAMS THAN HIS WALLET. HE HAD IT AT A SHOP PREVIOUS TO US THAT WAS GOING TO DO THE JOB FOR HIM BUT AFTER AWHILE THE OWNER FOUND HE WAS JUST PAYING BILLS TO DISASSEBLE THE CAR AND NO FORWARD PROGRESS BEING MADE BUT TO DRAIN HIS WALLET MORE. HE BROUGHT IT TO US AND GAVE HIM AN ESTIMATE TO RESTORE THE CAR HE SAID HE COUIDN'T AFFORD THE JOB SO JUST ROUGH PUT IT BACK TOGEATHER AND SELL IT FOR HIM. HE HAS MORE THAN THE BUY IT NOW PRICE IN THIS CAR BUT THAT'S HIS COST OF LEARNING TO HAVE A CAR CHECKED OUT BEFORTE BUYING IT AND WITH NO SKILLS TO RESTORE IT YOU NEED A BIG WALLET. SO HERE'S THE SCOOP. THE ENGINE AND STANDARD ,NON OVERDRIVE TRANS HAS BEEN SET BACK IN THE CAR. THE ENGINR ACTUALLY HAS 200 PSI IN EACH CYLINDER. WE PULLED THE COVER ON THE TRANS AND THE GEARS LOOK GOOD. SO MECHANICALLY THIS IS ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THE MECHANICS OF THIS CAR. EVERYTHING IS LOOSLY SET TOGEATHER AND SOME BOLTS ARE MISSING. THE BODY ,ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS A REPLACEMENT LEFT REAR FENDER IN FIBERGLASS. THE OTHER 3 FENDERS ARE VERY RESTORABLE AND STRAIGHT. THE HOOD HAS A SMALL RUST HOLE THAT IS REPAIRABLE IN IT AND IS STRAIGHT. THE TRUNK LID IS BAD. IT HAS THE TYPICAL RUST IN THE LOWER EDGE. THE DRIVERS FLOOR SHOULD BE REPLACED AS WELL AS BOTH ROCKER PANNELS. THE PASSENGERS SIDE WAS CUT OFF AS WAS PART OF THE OUTER EDGE OF THE FLOOR.THE FRAME HAS THE TYPICAL RUST IN THE TRAILING ARM BOX SECTIONS AND HAS HAD SOME PREVIOUS WELDING DONE ON THE REAR LEGS. THE FENDERS AND DOORS ARE JUST SET ON TO SHOW WHAT IS THERE. THEY ARE ALL LOOSE. THE INTERRIOR NEEDS TO BE RESTORED. I'D SAY 95+ % OF THE CAR IS THERE WITH MOST EVERYTHING THAT IS MISSING,YOU'D REPLACE ANYWAY. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING . THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS AUCTION. LOW STARTING PRICE. THE OWNER HAS WAY WAY MORE IN THIS CAR THAN THE BUY IT NOW PRICE BUT REALISES HE MADE A MISTAKE AND CAN'T AFFORD THE RESTORATION AND HAS NO WHERE TO STORE THE CAR...SO IT HAS TO GO.
