Fred,
Get on www.traderonline.com and go down the classic car path and due a
search for TRIUMPH TR6. You should get about 20 cars to help you put a
value on it. Good old www.vtr.org classifieds is a good source as well.
If you get Hemmings motor News that would help.
My sense is that the $12.5K is about $4-5K to high.
