Value help please

[paulheritage]

Okay, I have now completed rebuilding a 1976 Carmine red TR7 FHC and I need to sell the 1976 Java green TR7 FHC (people may have seen it at Billing TRDC last Summer, and in my footer below). It has just passed an MOT without any advisories and has 6 months MOT.

It is a completely original (apart from stealth electronic ignition) 4-speed non-sunroof, with service history and 3 owners, but not sure how much it is really worth and hate selling cars! Values seem to vary wildly as well.

I really like the car and drives brilliantly, and lots of work done over the last few years including new head gasket last year with skimmed head & block.

The bodywork is generally good but some usual places need sorting but not major.

More details at http://www.tr7.co.uk/my-tr7-fhc.html

Thoughts and advice welcomed (maybe doesn't help being located in Northumberland!).

Thanks.

Cheers Paul,

Hi Paul,
Having recently bought a FHC I can confirm that decent examples are getting few and far between. I would think that any quality example such as yours regardless of age, colour, 4 or 5 speed, sunroof etc, should be worth upwards or £4000.
There will always be cheap rusty heaps for a few quid but the good ones are a rare beast and we should stop giving them away.

I've not been to see other examples that have sold, and easy to under value based on ones you see on ebay. Wish I had the room to store it.
