What should I sell her for.

#1 Post by Alan H »

After getting my late Fathers 2000 back on the road last year I have concluded Triumph ownership is not for me (Lotus fan at heart). Loved the project of getting her going but she has largely sat in the garage since and its time for her to go to a new home.

Problem is I do not have a clue how much good ones go for. I would describe the exterior as fair as it needs painted where I had the sill skins repaired. This is not an ad so wont list everything I have done but spent £3k on her, wheels , brakes + pipes,stainless exhaust, diff seals etc. She is a 1972 2000 tax exempt with overdrive with 32421 miles on the clock . Standard other than the wheels, stainless exhaust and lights converted to halogens.

So how much should I advertise her for? I would like to see her go to an enthusiast.

Thanks for any input Alan H

If the front wings are good, going by the limited photos you've posted and assuming the mileage is genuine, I'd say £2000/£2500. Does look very nice indeed. Its a shame Triumphs aren't your thing. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks for that.

A knowledgeable colleague at work has just updated me on prices which are the same as yours.
