1972 Triumph Tr6 Original Survivor 66k Miles Great Driver on 2040-cars

1972 Triumph TR6 – 66,242 Original miles, Original Survivor and Great Driver

Overall:

Up for sale is my 1972 Triumph TR6  original survivor. This car still retains its original factory Sepia Brown paint and Saddle interior. The TR6 has 66,242 original miles and runs and drives excellent. The Car was built in June of 1972 and is considered an early to mid-production car (VIN # CC83102U). Unique about these cars is the high-back seats, dash layout with larger Odometer and RPM gauge, black hub caps and TR6 emblem on rear fender. Of course it’s a thin bumper car without the ugly rubber over-riders of the later cars.  These mid production cars also seem to rev freer than the later cars because they have much less emission restrictions. This car is a really fun car to drive that can be enjoyed as a daily dependable driver. I have all service and parts invoices from the past owners covering 22 years.

Body:

This car still wears its original factory paint after 42 years in existence. It’s a true survivor that is honest and unmodified and unrestored. The body and frame are in excellent condition free of any major rust. The frame has some superficial surface rust but no holes anywhere. The floors, fenders, trunk floor, frame, rocker panels and doors are all solid and rust free and accident free.  The paint is in reasonably good condition with a nice shine. There are some minor dings and imperfections that can be sorted out with some touchup paint but I left everything original.

Mechanical:

Engine runs fantastic, starts right up and idles at 800 rpm and sounds terrific. Revs are smooth and strong up to 6500rpm’s.  Head was rebuilt (see service and parts invoices) and clutch and throw-out bearing replaced. Clutch feels perfectly aligned and it’s easy to shift. The 4 spd gear box shifts perfectly with no strange noises or oil leaks. Car pulls strong in all four gears and runs like a top at 80 mph all day long. 

All ID tags and engine bay stickers are original to the car and in their proper place. Engine also runs cool.

This TR6 can be used literally as a daily driver or for a weekend pleasure cruise. Major tune up was done last year along with valve adjustment and new, plugs, wires, dist cap, points, condenser and rotor. New alternator was installed along with a new battery, belts and hoses. Car has new tires and has retains its original steel pressed wheels, black hub caps and factory chrome trim rings.

Closing:

The car is sold “AS IS” with no expressed or implied warrantee or guarantees. I am not a broker or a dealer so this is a private sale that is final. It is sold “WHERE IS” in Huntington, New York and if transported will be the cost of the buyer. I will load the car on the transport and see that all is safe.

I have set a reasonable BUY IT NOW price of $18.5K.  TR6’s survivors are getting harder to find with reasonably low mileage. They are getting sought after by collectors and car enthusiasts and prices have been rising fast. See July edition of Hemming’s Sports and Exotic Car magazine for TR6 on front page. It’s a great article on the “Brutish Brit”.  

If you are a serious buyer and have any questions please call or text me at 631-339-3349 or contact me through E-Bay. I will gladly take any detailed photos and send them to you. I will sell to Europe/worldwide and to anyone who appreciates this car for what it is. I have the right to end this auction early since I will advertise on other venues. I will request a $500 deposit within 48 hours and the balance shortly thereafter and will hold the car for you until payment and transportation has been made. Thanks for your interest. Best of luck and Bid with confidence. Thanks Dave.
