Triumph : TR-6 Convertible

 THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS CAR WAS BECAUSE OF THE LOW MILEAGE. nbsp;RUST FREE CONDITION AND IT WAS BRITISH RACING GREEN.   THE FIRST THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT IS THE CAR HAS OVERDRIVE IN IT BUT NO "O" AT THE END OF THE SERIAL NUMBER. THAT IS THE WAY I RECIEVED IT AND DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY ON IT BUT IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PUT IN AFTER THE CAR SOLD NEW. THE PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM IN 1993 HAD IT IN STORAGE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS.  I NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO USE THE CAR BECAUSE AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND STARTED RESTORING IT I WAS TRANSFERED. IT WENT BACK INTO STORAGE UNTIL A MONTH AGO WHEN I STARTED PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER. ONE OF THE REASON I TOOK IT APART WAS TO MAKE SURE THERE WASN'T ANY RUST BEHIND THE RESTORATION. I AM 70 YEARS OLD NOW AND HAVE DIFFERENT INTERESTS AND DON'T FEEL LIKE GETTING INVOLVED WITH ANOTHER PROJECT. IT LAST WAS RUNNING ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO I WENT THROUGH THE HYDRAULICS AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AROUND THE PROPERTY.  AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES I REPLACED ABOUT ALL THE HYDRAULICS.  (MASTER CYLINDERS. CLUTCH AND ALSO THE WHEEL CYLINDERS.

  THE WEAK PARTS OF THE CAR ARE THERE ARE A FEW SMALL DENTS AND SCRATCHES FROM BEING MOVED. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS GOING TO NEED LIGHT BODY WORK IT WAS DAMAGED SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE.  SOME WHERE ALONG THE WAY THE FRONT BUMPER WAS EITHR LOST OR MISPLACED.   I PURCHASED A FRONT BUMPER OFF EBAY BUT IT WASN'T AS NICE AS I THOUGHT IT WAS AND HAS SOME PRETTY HEAVY CORROSION. THE REAR BUMPER HAS A DENT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER AND IT IS COVERED BY A UNION JACK ENAMELED BADGE. THE LUGGAGE RACK HAS A CREASE ON THE TOP SUPPORT.  AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE PUT A LOT OF THE CAR BACK TOGETHER. IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE QUITE A BIT MORE WORK.   TWEAKING. POSSIBLE ADJUSTING AND HOOKING UP SOME WIREING THAT WAS UNHOOKED WHILE TAKING IT APART.   

  THERE ARE LOTS OF NEW PARTS FOR THE CAR AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES. IF YOUR NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT THERE ARE NEW DUAL EXHAUST MUFFLERS. CARPET KIT. TRUNK FIBER TRIM KIT. INTERIOR WHEEL ARCH COVERS (THE REST OF THE INTERIOR TRIM KIT IS IN PRETTY NICE CONDITION). DASH KIDNEY PADS. SOME INTERIOR RUBBER PARTS. NEW TOP IN UNOPENED BOX (REALLY NOTHING WITH THE ORIGINAL TOP OTHER THAN CLEANING AND POSSIBLY SOME ATTENTION TO THE WEBBING) THE TOP DASH PAD IS NEW BUT HAS SOME WAVES IN IT FROM STORAGE) SOME OF THE TURN AND LIGHT SWITCHES MIGHT NOT WORK PROPERLY I WILL CHECK TO SEE IF THEY ARE BROKEN AND CAN'T BE FIXED WILL REPLACE THEM.  IT HAS A NICE TONNEAU COVER.

  THE CAR CRANKED UP IMMEDIATELY WITH A CHARGED BATTERY IT SOUNDED GREAT WITH NO SMOKING. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE DASH WITH THE TACH AND OIL PRESSURE WITH IT IDLEING. IT IS UNDRIVEABLE BECAUSE OF THE HYDRAULICS. IT WILL ALSO NEED A BATTERY AND NEW TIRES THE RED LINE MICHELINS HOLD AIR BUT ARE VERY OLD.    

  THIS SHOULD MAKE AN EASY WINTER PROJECT IF YOU HAVE ANY MECHANICAL ABILITY AT ALL. IF YOU NEVER HAVE LIFTED A WRENCH I WOULDN'T ADVISE IT.   IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT MY DESCRIPTION PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK. I HAVE DESCRIBED THE CAR TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY. IF YOU LIVE IN THE DAYTONA BEACH AREA AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CAR YOU CAN CONTACT BRIAN AT 386-738-5113.
