my father is an auto mechanic who this week retired. We r in the process of getting together and selling whatever he can no longer use so it's a huge list. He was in business for 40 sum years. Today we went to a garage he has rented for almost as long as he has been in business. Behind the doors sat a barris t roadster that hasn't seen the light of day for 32 years.
I have never seen one until today and know not much about it. Can anyone give me any knowledge on it and possible what it could be worth. It is in working condition and drives
Here are a few photos I took today

SWEET!!!
It looks like a Kellison super T buggy. I don't think it is a Barris T, we have a thread running around this Buggy sub-forum about that body style and it looks a bit different.
I'm a fan of the T style beach buggies. I have an original gelcoat Berry Mini-T, though the gelcoat is not in nearly the good condition as your find.
