TR5/TR250 Looking for a TR250?

Share this page

There's no radiator shroud...and what's with the peeling paint in the boot. I think a close inspection would reveal a bunch of other stuff.

That car needs some TLC.
 
It looks as if all of the carpeting is gone, so that's the remnants of water under the carpet. If it's only surface, no big deal. But if not......

At least they're not simply painting over anything. That's worse, IMHO.
 
as a 250 owner this one looks run hard and put up wet
 
Wow, its a small world, I bought this car from a junkyard it was a bank repo or something, in storage many years and sold to the junkyard guy then to me, car is very original, I did find evidence that it may have been repainted or at least touched up, but original and unmolested for sure, even with the original bumblebee hoses, engine turned free, did not try to start it, some rust, but I have seen worse, the ironic thing is I bought this car for much less than the Signal Red 250 I am restoring now, and this one is probably slightly better than mine. I wish I had just kept it but at the time just wasn't in the cards.

If anyone here is interested I would be glad to provide more details. I think I still have the pics I took of it as well.
 
FYI - these folks have a bit of a variable reputation. I haven't personally dealt with them expect for them blowing me off when I asked the "right" sort of questions about the cars condition, so they may be fine, but I'd get someone local to check the car out in person.
