Is that maybe because the TR7 is the most 'accessible' of the TRs in terms of money? The early TRs are fetching silly money and a half-decent TR6 will cost £20k and up.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I quite like the GT6, but the looks don't really do it for me. Spitfire hatchback!

I was supposed to talk to the chap selling the TR7 on Tuesday, but I still haven't called him.
Not sure whether the car is a good idea TBH. I will have to sell a car, for space if nothing else, and the only one which can be sold is my 440. I will lose approx £7k on it in 4 months which is a bitter pill.

You are right TR4s and TR6s in top notch concourse are 32k upwards now. Mine is valued at 28k but realistically on the market should realise 24k :thumbsup:
