It's re-appeared on the Ebay classifieds.
I don't think it looks too bad, it's more than I'd pay, it's white and it's an automatic but the bodywork doesn't look too dire. Depends what it's like underneath and when it was last on the road.
As a normal 2000 with nothing terribly special going for it I can see it selling for £1200 if it's in OK condition and doesn't need too much doing although the price people are willing to pay for a 2000 seems to vary greatly.

The rally car item number 290879390464 looks far more interesting (not that I need, have the space for or can afford another Triumph!). Anyone know anything about it?

Nope but the rally car project is on my shopping list...........................well I am bidding but not met reserve............. rather have this than my MK1 PI..........ideal works replica........

re the other Ebay car......................I would guess needs sills and serious brake work, which may also mean fuel lines etc but who knows?...............

I was hoping the Rally Car would slip under the radar! Seems like I have some competition on this one already...

Charlie

would guestimate it goes for 2k plus............. or a dealer probably buy it and make into "works replica"

Sorry re PI outcome.................. do know of another mk1 but not PI but as 2500 engine and o/d .....................and is bit like works replica........... but it probably over your bufget.

If it went for £2k it will be a bit of a bargain as all of the Rally bits should be easy to sell on for good money ( I would want to return it to mostly road spec), the shell is sound which is my main concern, going to ask a mate to have a look at it for me who lives local to Preston.

Agree..................................I think be better with all the bits on it but that just my thoughts................
Will make a cracking car........................like said I rather have it than new PI.......as always wanted works replica or near as.........

It always puzzles me when these sellers can't be bothered to take a picture of the front view of a car....
(the caravans put me off to)

Yeah you be careful............................

you tell him lee, nowt wrong with caravans

[jimd]

re. my caravan comment....there's caravans and there's caravans.!
