Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right place for me to be asking for help
but I couldn't find any other google group concerning anything
remotely related to british classic cars in north america.
I need to appraise my dad's 1958 TR3A (left hand drive from england)
and am trying to factor in rechroming costs (for front and back bumper
and luggage rack thing on top of the trunk) and also the cost of
redoing the interior (minus the carpets and front seats which look
alright). My dad loved the car and it's a shame to see it go but my
mom and I can't drive it and don't know how to care for it so I feel
it would be best for it to go to a real enthusiast who will enjoy it
as much as my dad did.
Anyways thanks in advance for your help.

Sounds like you're looking for a valuation. A UK group isn't much use for
that - unless you're including free shipping. ;-) I'd Google on TR and
Triumph - there must be a car club for these in the US which should be
able to help. And I'd guess a more suitable newsgroup out of the thousands.

Try www.trbitz.com, they might buy it off you or know a buyer over here who
wants it, as most UK restoration projects have almost rusted away to
nothing!
