Gary:
While not an original restoration, it is certainly a premier
example of the TR250.
I think we underestimate the power of a first class paint and
body job. From the pictures, it truly looks like it was made of glass.
Very impressive. I would state for the record however, that if I was
going to spend that much for a Triumph, I would want one that is a tad
closer to 'correct'; Fan shroud, correct wheels, correct body work, etc.
I honestly believe that a TR4/5/250/6 restored to "as new"
condition is worth $20k or more. This one has better than new body &
paint, but is not truly original. So the asking price doesn't seem
outrageous. All IMHO, of course.
It will be fun to see what it goes for.

Subject: TR250 on e-bay to watch
Interesting to see where this goes?? I've seen this car profiled on the
web somewhere. I'm guessing it'll go for $18,000? Although if you
watch Barett Jackson things are crazy! Bad econonmy huh.
