Project Cars for Sale

Project Cars:

We always have a selection of cars for sale which need work doing before they are road ready. One of these cars may be useful to you if you are a spannerman and wish to embark on a new project, or need a parts source for your own restoration. They all need plenty of to put back on the road. They are usually either accident damaged, or heavily corroded, or part-restorations where the previous owner has given up (usually lack of time/ability/inclination/storage etc). Please be advised that although these cars may well run, and may even be MOT'd, in all instances they are not road-legal and will need work to become so.

Please note that we never have TR2-4s for sale as projects as we always repair these ourselves (if repairable)

The pictures opposite may not be of currently available cars at this moment (we turn them over too quickly to photograph individually) but may give you an idea of our usual stock.

Some replies to frequently-asked questions:

If I buy one of your project cars...

Will you be able to supply me any parts I need? Yes certainly - in the unlikely event we don't have it in stock then we can acquire it for you in 99% of cases.
Will you be able to do me a deal on some of the new parts I know I'm going to need? Yes, but please don't expect too much, some Triumph parts, especially panels, have very low margins.
Will you be able to do some bits of the repair work I can't do. Yes indeed and we can usually price this for you before you buy.
Will you be able to restore the car to my specification (I want it in blue with a red stripe, blue mohair hood, wire wheels, overdrive, sports exhaust, rear seatbelts etc). Yes of course, we do this all the time, one of the advantages of doing it this way is you get to own the car the way you like it.
And you fully restore it do you think I can then sell it and make a good profit? No unfortunately not. If you sell a car immediately after we have finished it for you, you will not (unless you are very lucky) recoup your investment. If this was the case then that is all we would be doing for ourselves and would never be open for customer's cars
And restore it myself do you think I can then sell it and make a good profit? Probably, if you have done a good job, you will certainly be able to recoup the purchase and parts cost.

I've seen one of your cars once already and I'm considering buying it....

Will you reduce the price as it's been a month and you've got to get rid of it sometime? No, sorry. When it has been around a while and noone wants it then we would dismantle it for spares. This can be sad sometimes for a car that is reuseable which is why we try to sell them as they are, but as a business we do need to make a profit and we cant keep every car that noone wants to buy indefinitely. These used spares help keep other people's cars on the road economically
Is the car in exactly the same state as it was when I looked at it X days/weeks ago? Quite possibly not. Our used parts are all racked, but if we need something that isn't racked for a customer then we will remove it from a car in the yard rather than turn them away. We would therefore require you to take a second look before you purchase as we may not be able to remember what was on the car when you looked at it and what has been removed since.
Are you able to deliver it? Yes we have a car transporter
