VTR has a listing of general value guidelines that I used when I bought
my car about 2 years ago. You can find it here
http://www.vtr.org/TR6/TR6-buying.html
While the above price guideline hasn't been updated as far as I know in
quite a while, most would agree the TR6 has appreciated in recent years.
I bought mine in the mid 9's, and it was appraised at 10k. It's a VG
condition, mostly original car with 56,000 miles. BTW, of all the cars I
looked at before I bought mine, it was the ONLY good one priced fairly.
I looked at absolute trash priced at 12,500 and above!!
Still, I think prices are best evaluated by a knowledgeable person in
your own area. I'll bet there's someone in your local 6-Pack chapter
that could take a look for you. One more caveat - I took my car to a top
vintage car restorer, recipient of numerous national awards including
one at Pebble Beach Concours, and he appraised my car at $7600. Just
goes to show, not everyone knows Triumphs ;-) Be sure whoever appraises
your car knows what he or she is doing.

Subject: What is an old car worth?
Thanks to all that responded to my insurance question.
Phase 2 follows.
What is this thing worth? I have had it up for years. It is a very
clean but cosmetically worn
original with only the typical mods needed to get it reliable. Full
story on the website:
http://www.theyeagergroup.com/triumph_tr6.htm
When I got back to the classic car world from the academic world I have
seen silly prices for
TR6s ($15,000 - $18,000). Anyone care to discuss what a good solid
example with 106,000
miles might to worth?
Thanks in advance.
