It's interesting how time changes your surroundings. I remember back in my
University days (70-74) being paid $50 to drag off non-running TRs. Cornell
students were discarding them like last week's date. Those I was able to
drive away usually were $75. I recall three TR-250s that were purchased for
less than $100. This was the same period of time I passed up a 1961 XKE
roadster because it needed paint and after all, who wanted to pay $750 for a
car that needed paint. I did buy a 1970 Mustang Mach I for $300 that was
fully loaded back in 1976. (No I traded it in on a garden
tractor..................NUTZ!)
Ah for the old days

I'm sure everyone remembers the 1963 TR4 Surrey Top that sold at the
Barrett-Jackson auction in Florida back in 2006 for $97,200. I just had to
go back
and check that number to make sure I remembered it correctly! Probably
stupid
money, but who knows the real story other than someone really liked the
car.
Seems to me the TR4 cars and TR3A and B cars are trending upward, with nice
examples selling in the $30,000 range without being anomalies. As for the
small mouth cars, there are likely not enough sold at auction to give a
clear
picture of trend in value, although I would guess trending up for good
examples.
Fun discussion, and thanks for the posts. Aloha, Robert
