| Up for sale is this beautifully restored 1974 Triumph TR6. The restoration was completed by the previous owner in 2016 and less than 2,000 miles have been logged since. Mileage is 68,069 and believed to be accurate though the clear Virginia title, due to the age of the car, has miles listed as "exceeds mechanical limits". The odometer is functional.Very nice single stage paint in 2016. The color is called "Evening Blue" and most closely resembles the new Ford Mustang Grabber Blue. It is quite a striking color and gets lots of positive comments. I'd grade the paint job as an 8 out of 10... not concours but very nice. The original color of the car was Triumph Sapphire Blue. I have a can of touch up paint and the paint code for the next owner.When this car was restored, some very nice modifications were added as described below:Moss 5-speed HVDA conversion kit. A 5-speed transmission was sourced and rebuilt from a 1984 Toyota pickup with 70k miles. The Moss Motors website has some detail on the TR6 5-speed conversion kit/process. What a difference this makes in the driving experience as compared to the standard factory 4-speed and dramatically better than the optional factory overdrive.Libra 15 inch wheels (includes a full size spare- not pictured)Moss Motors Miata seat conversion. Seats used were from a 1997 Miata. Recovered in black vinyl and look new.Over-sized radiator with dash activated fan switchAll new interior (seats, carpet and Triumph mats)Dash replaced with custom made cherry wood. Matching rear deck lid behind seatsBrand new canvas top (boot cover included as shown)wood steering wheel and matching wood TR6 shift knobMonza dual exhaust (nice throaty growl!)New cd stereo with custom speakersNew chrome bumpers front and backFront air dam and custom below bumper driving lightsHand painted red side stripes including hand painted "union jack" on front fendersNew custom headlight lenses from MossAll new trunk liner and floor with dash activated switch for LED trunk lightingnice chrome trunk mounted luggage rack.During the restoration all the electrics in the car were completely rewired. The cumbersome under the steering wheel ignition switch was relocated to the center of the dash where the rheostat was located. All gauges function except for the temperature gauge.The car starts, runs and drives exceptionally well. The engine is original to the car and has the original (rebuilt) Stromberg carburetors. Recent tune-up and oil change. Last month I replaced the front brake pads, added one new caliper on the passenger side front, installed new brake hoses, new front sway bar links & bushings and new steering rack boots. The tires have about 50% tread (205 60 R15)There are zero rust issues... this TR6 has always been a southern car. Underneath photo's show mild surface rust. Glass is excellent all around and both windows roll up and down as they should. There are front lap and shoulder seat belts installed.Please note that the temp gauge is not working but a tested replacement is provided. On hard, all the way turns (backing up) there is a slight rub on the front inside of these wheels due to the wider width of the wheel.Included with the sale: Owners manual, shop manual, parts catalogs, spare parts etcPre-purchase inspections welcome with an appointment. Happy to answer any questions through Ebay. Garaged in Central Virginia (22936) near Charlottesville. Happy to work with your shipper or recommend one I've used before if desired. Price is firm but will consider serious offers. Hard to find a TR6 with all these upgrades for close to this price. | |
