Thank you guys for the quick replies and great advice. From the searching I've done so far, I can kind of feel it may take a while to find the right car. Thanks Andy for the heads up on the TR register, I'm off there now for a search The other thing I noticed is that if I rule out red as a colour, I'm not left with much!!

Hello all, I've just joined as a new member, but used to be a TSSC member way back in the early 80s when I had my much loved Spitfire 1500 (PNA 892R) followed by a Triumph Stag (FAL 148J). I loved both cars but always lingered after a TR4 and all these years later I still do! So, after nearly 40 years out of the loop and without a Triumph the search is on for a good TR4. The first thing that has stuck me given that they are fairly thin on the ground and the massive price variations. It seems I could pay anything from £12,000 to £38,000 for a TR4. Most, as would be expected, have been restored at some point in their lives. I've not been to see any in the flesh yet, but there are, what look like, good mid 60s examples around the £18000-£20000 mark. My first question would be, how much should I expect to pay given the huge price variations? Like I say, I'm a out of the classic loop but I would expect a 'good' car for £18/20,000, so what is gained by spending another £10-15,000? The general price trend seems to be up every year but how much would you say prices have increased by from say 5 ago? I'm sure there will be many more questions as the search progresses!! Cheers Rob
