Any new Wedges out there?

Postby dursleyman » 02 Nov 2012 13:59

Just read an article in this weeks Classic Car Buyer about a new Triumph Spitfire just been found.
Seems someone won it in a raffle in 1981 but never used the car, it was never even registered for the road. Instead it was drained of fluids and wax coated before being put into a container for storage.

Made me wonder if there are any TR7's or TR8's out there that we haven't found yet?

One of the 18 UK spec TR8s has never been registered and is still as new with 37 miles on the clock.

Bob Tullius still has his "Last" TR8 with a few hundred miles because it was delivered to the wrong dealer. I heard he was asking 60,000 USD for it.

Not sure if this qualifies, but here is my new soft top shell that I have had sitting for the last 30 years.

Started to put it together this summer

I had read a number of years ago (5?) of a Spitfire taken off the show room floor from a Toronto dealer and offered for $18,000. Not heard of anything like that for TR7's/8's....too much fun to drive I guess. My 47,000 Km (29,200 mile) Yellow TCT will be one of lowest mileage local TR7's when it gets on the road.
