YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN EARLY TRIUMPH TR250. VIN # CD3708 . THEY STARTED AT CD1 AND WENT TO CD8594. SO ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY THROUGH PRODUCTION OF THIS VERY RARE CAR THAT ONLY 8593 WERE BUILT TOTAL. THIS CAR HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD SINCE 1989 WHEN THE OWNER WAS GOING TO HAVE HER HUSBAND DO SOME BODY WORK. WELL HE TOOK OFF THE BODY PANNELS AND CUT OFF THE DRIVERS SIDE SILL AND STOPPED....HE WAS STUCK. IT SAT FOR TYHE NEXT 23 YEARS TILL MY CUSTOMER PURCHASED IT WANTING A TR250 BUT DIDN'T HAVE THE SKILLS TO DO IT EITHER,SO HE BOUGHT IT TO ME. I FOUND HIM A NICE CAR AND HE HAS ASKED ME TO SELL THIS ONE FOR HIM. IT HAS ALL THE REGULAR RUST IN THE FRAME BRACES THAT HOLD THE TRAILING ARMS AS WELL AS 1 LEG GOING BACK HAD BEEN WELDED IN THE PAST. SO THEY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT HAS RUST IN THE TRUNK LID LOWER EDGE AS THEY ALL GOT AS WELL AS IN THE FLOORS ,SILLS AND SOME OF THE BODY PANNELS. IN GENERAL THE BODY NEEDS A TOTAL RESTORATION. THE LEFT REAR FENDER HAS A REPLACEMENT FIBERGLASS FENDER ON IT. THE RIGHT REAR FENDER IS PRETTY NICE. THE TOP FRAME FOLDS NICLY. THE INTERRIOR WILL NEED TO BE REDONE AS WELL AS THE CARPET IS BAD AND MOST TRIM PANNELS ARE BAD AS WELL. THE SEATS HAD BEEN REUPOLSTERED BUT NOT ORIGINAL TRIM. THEY ARE ORIGINAL SEATS. NOW FOR THE GOOD PART. WE DRAINED THE FUEL,PUT IN NEW POINTS,CLEANED THE CARBS AND NOT ONLY STARTED THE ENGINE ON A REMOTE GAS CAN WITH ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP, BUT ALL THE HYDROLICS WORK THAT THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN DOWN THE SHORT STREET WE ARE ON TO SEE IF THE GEARBOX WAS GOOD. IT SHIFTS NICE AND THE ENGINE RUNS SMOOTH AND DOES NOT BURN OIL. 80 PSI OIL PRESSURE COLD WITH 60 HOT AT AN IDLE. I'D SAY VERY GOOD. THE EXHAUST IS EVEN QUIET. THIS CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN HOME. THE FENDERS, RIGHT SIDE DOOR AND HOOD ARE JUST SET ON THE CAR. NOT BOLTED ON. THE REAR BUMPER IS OFF AS WELL BUT ALL COME WITH THE CAR. THIS CAR COMES WITH A CLEAR TITLE. NOW HERE'S A PLUS I'M ADDING: IF THE BUYER DOES A BUY IT NOW PRICE OF $4,500.00 I'LL THROW IN ANOTHER TRUNK LID. THE RESERVE IS A BIT LESS THAN THE BUY IT NOW. PLEASE DON'T ASK AS I WON'T TELL YOU. 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 INCASH OR 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. BIG NOTE: DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR A FIRM IDEA HOW YOU PLAN TO GET THE CAR TO YOU. THE LAST 2 TOP BIDDERS THOUGHT,AFTERWARDS..NOW THEY CAN'T HANDLE GETTING THE CAR TO THEM. THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED. I CAN GET IT TO YOU IN EUROPE FOR ABOUT $2,800.00 NOT INCLUDING TAXS OR DUTY. HOPE THIS HELPS. WE CAN HELP WITH TRANSPORT TO SOME LOCATIONS HERE IN THE STATES , FOR A FEE OF COURSE. LET ME KNOW BEFORE BIDDING AND I'LL QUOTE YOU. 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. THIS IS A BIG PROJECT BUT I'VER RESTORE WORST AND I FEEL IT CAN BE SAVED AND SHOULD BE DUE TO IT'S RARITY AGAIN,PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. THANK YOU JIM KNIGHT.
