What would you keep?

So, we're down-sizing the collection a bit. We're holding on to my TR-250 (it's my baby), and choosing two other cars to keep out of the following three. What other two would you choose?

1959 Austin Healey 3000 BT7
1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1
1971 Triumph TR6 with overdrive

And the bonus question - what if you could keep only one of those three?

Let the discussion begin!
 
Wow, talk about a hard question to ask. I don't think I could let any of them go! I suppose I'd ask myself which ones I enjoy driving the most.
 
Sell the 6. But don't tell Tush, he already has enough of them! 😁 :giggle:😁
 
Since you are keeping the TR-250, I'd sell TR6 and keep the Tiger and the 3000. If you need someone to take the 6 off your hands you can send it my way.
 
For the bonus question, I'd sell them all and buy an XK-120. The four of them together should get you to XK territory.
 
I have storage space available, will exercise as needed.
Sell one, the TR6.
Sell two, the TR6 and Tiger.
Though, Walt's idea is tempting!

Depends on the condition of the cars in question.

Good point!

I'd keep the best cosmetic / rust free cars. Any rust indicates a future project...

Assuming all equal condition, I'd keep the 3000 if only one car. If two cars, add the Tiger. (Although there are a few Tiger supporters here that disagree with this order!) Not sure how much difference (other than visual) there is between the TR6 and 250?
 
I've had a TR4A, an XK140 and now a Healey. The Healey is the best of the three, but I enjoyed the TR more because I could just drive it without worrying about it, as it was a daily driver. Now, none of those would be a daily driver.
 
TR should go first, but I cry as I write. I have had a sick admiration of 3000s since I was in the U Miami Sports Car Club in 1968. Puts the Tiger on the block. Again, I cry.
