CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
AWARD WINNING FRAME-OFF RESTORED 1969 TRIUMPH TR-6* I have owned the car since October of 2011. Purchased from the estate of Dave Francis of Ventura, California. The following is seller’s description of the frame-off restoration. I have driven the car less than 1,200 miles since purchase. I have in excess of $23,000 invested and will consider reasonable offers.Restored by the late Dave Francis and entered in several sports car shows and conventions. Multiple award winner including Best TR6 and Best Car in Show. Dave had restored a number of Triumphs (TR3, TR4 and TR6) since the 1960’s as well as other vehicles. Members of Southern California Triumph clubs will likely be familiar with Dave and this car.DRIVETRAIN: The engine was blueprinted and professionally rebuilt and balanced by Auto Specialties of Thousand Oaks. Appropriate new pistons, rocker, valves as well.New timing chain, oil pump and water pump. Spin-on oil filter adapter to prevent bottom-end engine damage during startup. The exhaust is through headers and stainless. The A-type overdrive transmission was also rebuilt. All synchros work perfectly. Overdrive in third and fourth gears clicks right in with a flick of the column switch. New clutch, clutch master cylinder, lines, slave cylinder and throw out bearing.Gear reduction starter for better quicker starts every time. New differential mounts and reinforcing plate. New front and rear wheel bearings. Rebuilt rear hubs. All suspension mounts and U-joints replaced. This vehicle has been pampered and carefully operated for 13,000 miles since this ground up rebuild.SUSPENSION: Tuned, aligned and balanced by Howery’s, Ventura. Koni front shocks.Rebuilt, stiffer rear lever shocks. Front and rear anti-sway bars on urethane bushings.New tires on 15” wire wheels. Rebuilt front brake calipers. New lines and wheel cylinders. Brakes converted to Dot 5 Fluid.BODY: This was a rust-free California car with minor body damage from city driving.Any significant Bondo was removed and replaced with new metal panels (not filler).All panels were smoothed-no waves. After primer, the car was sprayed with correct Triumph periwinkle blue in several coats plus clear coat. After wet sanding, you can see no orange peel or any fish-eyes...just great reflections. Panels replaced include both front fenders and left quarter panel. The floors in this roadster were virtually rust-free. Windshield frame and rear valance painted correct “semi-flat” black. A new windshield and all new rubber trim and gaskets throughout.ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: All electrical components operating as intended. All gauges,warning lights, and switches are properly illuminated and work great. Very strong oil pressure. Engine runs cool. Alternator charges without issue.EXTERIOR TRIM: New convertible top from The Roadster Factory is in great condition. The windows are clear and the rear zips out for better ventilation. New rubber trim everywhere, around doors (with correct fuzzy trim attached), trunk andengine. Even new rubber and chrome around and under the toughest area – the windshield! Excellent chrome: all new bumpers with over-riders, glamour rings, bullet mirror, door handles, and Lemans fuel filler cap. Luggage rack of chrome and blondewood gleams nicely.INTERIOR TRIM: The complete interior was replaced with new. Looks factory. New Wilton wool carpets from the Roadster Factory. Thick, black, deep pile. New trim panels all around doors, rear, doglegs, B-pillar supports, etc. New burled wood dash. New pull knobs. All dash pads and dash support in excellent condition. Cardboard transmission tunnel covers now replaced with heavy gauge plastic (no more oily carpets).PERFORMANCE: The engine is strong and smooth, coupled with a sonorous, throaty exhaust note. The steering is firm and responsive. The brakes are smooth and straight, no vibrations or pulls. The trans shifts quickly under a strong clutch and the gears move positively into place.ADDITIONAL ITEMS: The car comes with current Arkansas Title and registration and a copy of previous California Title and registration, and a large box of spare parts.There is also a factory hardtop with new rubber and good glass. It has been restored and primed but not yet painted.PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. We have provided as much detail as possible from original restoration, and will gladly research any specific questions a prospective buyer would like to see answered
