Pricing for 74 2000 Touring

[poolguru]

I have been looking into purchasing a 1974 2000 Touring,non Tii version.In very good to excellent condition.5 speed conversion.I am trying to find out what range Tourings like this are going for from a project car to a Concourse quality car.Any help is appreciated.Thanks!

I am sure you could spend anywhere from $5K to over $15K, depending on model and condition. It sounds like the one you are looking at is a pretty good representation. Pics and price would help to evaluate whether or not is is a good deal. As you can see the range is broad. Really nice examples could easily get more that 10K. I really enjoy mine, it is a 1802 with 4 speed, but still the most fun I have ever had in a car. My 76 2002 Standard body hasn't moved since I bought the Touring.

Here are some pics.

Wow - nice Touring! Hopefully the underside, trunk and all around the tailgate are as nice as what is in the pics.

I have seen perfect cars that are bondo monsters.....Stronger magnets needed for chassis and shock towers

Nice car, and right hand drive at that. Is it badged as a 2000? By 1974, I think they were badged as 2002s...

Car has very little rust....Is 8000.00 a fair price for something in this condition if all checks out?

Good to know on the 2002 vs 2000 touring

but the car has an early nose. Did Tourings keep the early nose in 74?

Looks decent in the pics for sure; maybe a good respray.

M reg would mean that it was 1st registered between 1 Aug '73 & 31 July '74.

If the VIN falls between 3440001 & 3441537 then it's an "early" model manuf between 9/'71 & 8/'73 noted as 2000 Touring. If the VIN falls between 348001 & 3480339 then it's a "late" model manuf between 8/'73 & 4/'74 noted as a 2002 Touring. Actually, I think they changed 2000 to 2002 badges earlier in '73 but this is what the book states.

If it's $8k (and not £8k) then, providing it is at the better end of the scale, it's probably an ok price. Tourings can be had in the UK for a wide variety of prices depending, of course, on their condition. I would want an inspection at that price and a new MOT certificate.

If you do get it, please let me know the dtls etc and I will add you to my list of North American owned Tourings.
