it was a lucky day for the seller and the auctioneer that a solvent buyer from abroad put so much money on the table for the car.
with just local-buyers the car would hardly reached the minimum.
it was a fortuity which does not mean that those cars really have such a value.
its just an old triumph with a new body!!
really "amazing" that such a high priced car already shows the typical problems of homebuilt cars on the first test-drive. that non working speedo was already not workng b4 the auction.....
i hope for the buyer that he wont be faced with ongoing teething-problems in the future, as he has already overpaid at least 7k on the auction.
