Thanks for the info. This seems like a low price for such a nice example of a Mark II. It doesn’t bode well for the Tiger market. What do y’all think?I received an email from one the TEAE guys saying it sold for $115k. I am assuming that is the gavel price and not including any commissions.
When I looked at the photos on Broad Arrow Auctions website, the TAC sticker seemed to have the number partially scraped off. Did you read the number?The car does carry a TAC # and the VIN tag does show it to originally be color code 86 which is Forest Green. This car has been mentioned recently on Tiger facebook pages.
Shouldn't there be a way to cross reference the VIN # to find the TAC #?When I looked at the photos on Broad Arrow Auctions website, the TAC sticker seemed to have the number partially scraped off. Did you read the number?
AVG Tiger resto out of my shop is $85-130K.. It just depends on what you start with! I always tell my clients, it's a money losing proposition, not for the weak of heart or checkbook! There really isn't an appreciable difference in the cost on the labor side of whatever you're going to restore, if your interest is in doing a correct and quality restoration. The determining factor is the cost of rare parts and the amount of rot in the car. There are very few cars left that will be worth the effort and return a profit, an Aston Martin DB5 (and then, only in LHD) is about the only one that springs to mind. Most of my clients are either very long-term owners with an emotional attachment or are reliving their youth! Either way, completely understandable, if they have the money. It is, most definitely a buyer's market at present!I searched finding this car which looks very nice, assuming the car being discussed. At $128k it is probably a good bargainView attachment 19090 if restoration workmanship as good as the pictures seem. Restoration costs are insane expensive these days IMO. Best to the new owner.
