Vehicle description
You are looking at perhaps one of the nicest examples of a TR250 anywhere in the world. I should know, I have owned three and have done one complete frame-off myself. I didn’t think anyone could have built a better TR250 after the one I built, which was very similar to this ten years ago. But the builder Mark K. outdid himself and me in so many ways, so I had to have the car! I even grew up as a kid in a brand new TR250, so we go way back. And as you might know, this is the 50 th anniversary of an icon, one year build triumph. So special in so many ways. It just turns out it was very bad timing for me and I want the car to be homed where it is deeply loved and appreciated. The car probably has $40k in parts alone if you consider Mark bought a very clean driver before taking on this incredible build. Add 2000 man hours is what you’re looking at now! That’s over $100k just in labor. I bought the car with 50 miles on it. Meaning, this basically a brand new car. I put down another 100 miles with a trip from Half Moon Bay to Santa Cruz and back and it performed very well. It’s a brand new build so some very minor tweaks will surely be in the cards but I have to say it tracked well, drove very straight and had loads of power I wasn’t used to with TR. If you join (free) 6-pack.org you will see a log of 22 pages Independent URL"s) of the build of this amazing vehicle. Once you’re a member I can send you a link via email. Bay won"t allow me to put a link in for some reason. Super clean body, amazing paint work, completely gusseted suspension and spring tower mods. All Richard Good parts, oversized Wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes & master cylinders, cold air inducted, fuel injected high end new engine build with 9.5:1 custom pistons, cam, roller rockers and on and on. Nice Panasport wheels with redline tires , 5 speed transmission with paired differential. Interior is beautiful as a build of this quality should be and comes with seatbelts with harness, stereo with Sirius/Bluetooth, steering wheel and more than I can list here. Everything works and the windshield wipers even have intermittent functionality! Just way to much to list. I bought it sight unseen. It was everything and more. You will not be disappointed in this once in a lifetime opportunity. You think you can build a car to this level for under $50k? Probably not and you"ll take a few years doing it. That said, it"s pretty darn enjoyable if you go that route and have the skillset.
