Greetings everyone,
New to the forum. My primary reason for signing up is to determine the price of this TR10.
A buddy of mine acquired a hoarders property and there is a pretty decent, almost barn find TR10 with a few extra doors.
He's not interested in keeping it and me, well I just don't have the time, but I'm going to bring it home to save it from the scrap yard and maybe I'll find the time..
So, what is the value of a little gem like this? Would like to post so someone can save the little gal. Cheers

My Dad had one, somewhat better cosmetically and drivable (tho it definitely had needs). He never did find a buyer interested in the whole car and finally sold/gave it to a Triumph salvage dealer along with a bunch of other TR junk.

Hopefully you'll have better luck, but don't expect too much.
 
Hi There,

Personally; I`ve never heard of a "TR10". What the heck yr is it?

Same car as a Standard 10, but they slapped a 'Triumph' badge on it for sale in the USA. Basically a small sedan with a very small motor (948cc), producing a 0-60 time of about 3 weeks.

Randall, if my 55 Standard Ten ever got to 60 I think it must have been downhill. :friendly_wink:
 
Welcome!

Thanks for thinking about saving this car. I really hope you can find someone to bring it back to decent shape.

Since you are in Calif., why not contact some of the officers of the TTSCC to see if they can give you an idea of value?

They may also know someone in your area that would be interested. I think it's a keen car and if I wasn't on the other coast, I'd be interested.
 
From the pictures, I'll guess it's probably a 1958 (that might well have been built in '57). Fun little cars that are near and dear to my heart; unfortunately, they cost as much to restore as any other car does, and they won't bring all that much money when you're done. In your favor likely is the fact that it appears to be mostly straight and (presumably) rust-free.

I'd be interested in some of the "numbers" (feel free to PM me if you like), as I maintain a database of these cars as well as Heralds and other "family" Triumphs! Oh, and come on over to the Triumph part of the forum, where there actually are a few other Triumph 10 owners lurking about! :D
 
Hi Randall,

Yeah, I`m quite familiar with the "Hair Raising / White Knuckle" power of a stock "948". Thats what I had in my `59 Bug/Frogeye.

Hmm, don't know the numbers offhand, but I'm guessing that a 10 weighs at least half again what your Bugeye did.
 
Thanks for clearing this up for me... my parents used to talk about the TR10 that they had before I was born (before they sold it and moved to the "even more exotic" Renault Dauphine, which I rode home from the hospital in). My dad was always up for trying new and exciting cars like this back then... umm... before my mom put her foot down and decided they needed something a bit more practical, like a 1963 Ford Country Sedan wagon. That's the first car I remember.

They never kept any pictures of the TR10, and I wasn't able to find much about it on the Web. Never thought to look it up as a Standard. Now I can picture the car they affectionately called "the Trumpet".

I'd take it off your hands for nostalgia reasons, but my parents both passed away a few years ago so they wouldn't appreciate the memory, and I have my hands full getting my Jensen Healey reassembled from its winter teardown and rebuild. I love these old Brit mini-sedans though... maybe someday...
