1975 Triumph TR-6

You are bidding on a 1975 Triumph TR 6. I have had this wonderful car for several years and have been constantly improving it. I bought it for the sexy wheels. beautiful Harley Davidson Black Cherry Pearl paint job with gold pin stripes and the very straight. rust free body and frame.

The engine was tired and the gearbox noisy and all sorts of other things were amiss…a lot like most of the TR 6 s for sale here on e Bay! I set to work on a rolling restoration. with the goal of making this a trouble free British sports car to be proud of. Don't laugh…it can be done!

Here is a partial list of the improvements:

Engine: Proven performer with 15. 00 miles driven since minor rebuild Spin on oil filter Aluminum radiator New water pump TSI braided stainless steel oil gauge line New fuel lines Goodparts black powder coated aluminum radiator shroud Fidanza alloy flywheel Valve job with cylinder head milled to raise compression to 8. 5/ 1 New piston rings Goodparts GP 2 performance camshaft Rebuilt SU HS 6 carbs with positive crankcase ventilation and K&N air cleaners Bosch coil. Hot-Spark electronic ignition. vacuum retard replaced with advance unit New Bosch battery (last month) Timing cover seal Anti-smog devices completely removed (is that legal?) Ansa dual exhaust (I had to drive to New York to get this!) New fan belt and hoses New high output alternator and gear reduction starter

Drivetrain: Rebuilt Laycock de Normanville J-type overdrive transmission New clutch master and slave cylinders Six new u-joints New half-shafts New differential seals and gasket

Chassis: Rear tube shock conversion Complete brake overhaul Solid alloy steering rack mounts Poly bushings front and rear 205/70-15 steel belted radials on Centerline mag wheels compact spare from Honda Accord

Appearance items: Luggage rack Tan Stayfast convertible top TRF dash board with Tiger-eye grain New visors Amco style rubber floor mats Excellent vinyl and carpet Moss aircraft style three-point seat belts New windshield. gaskets and finish strip Triumphtune aluminum valve cover 14 inch Motolita steering wheel Rechromed basherless bumpers

Convenience upgrades: Everco heater valve Brass throttle shaft bushings Dynomat sound proofing

Back-up bonnet release New window washer with intermittent wiper function TR 4 style door pulls. glove box finger pull Cigar lighter in place of instrument lighting dimmer rheostat New horns

The wiring harness is flawless and everything electrical works perfectly. This TR 6 is quick. runs cool. has a nice clutch. smooth overdrive gearbox. sounds like a V 8. awesome brakes. amazing handling. etc. The interior. while not brand new is quite tidy and very presentable. The windows roll up and down easily. and the top fits snugly. The excellent older paint job has a deep shine with just a few nicks and scratches. It won't be peeling or blistering! You may have seen this TR 6 at the VTR nationals at Lake Geneva. Wisconsin or Triumphest in San Diego. If you are a Vintage Triumph Register or Triumph Six Pack member. you know my reputation for owning well sorted cars.

This TR 6 has never been on a trailer. drive it home no matter where you live! It is my best Triumph. but I have three others. two Austin-Healeys and a Porsche. You can see my dilemma…
