Numbers Matching - Rare Over-drive - 73058 Original Miles - Must See Auction on 2040-cars
Stanfield, North Carolina, United States
Up for auction is a 1974 Triumph TR-6 with it's
original engine, original 73058 miles and has the rare and highly sought after
over-drive transmission. I will make every effort to detail everything about the
car so all interested will be fully informed prior to bidding. I'm not a
mechanic or a dealer just a guy selling a very nice TR-6. Please take time to
read the auction in it's entirety as much work and dollars have been
spent.
Heritage: This is a true numbers
matching car as I know it to be after doing much research and being the previous
owner had the car for nearly 17 years . The
production date is Oct. 1973, commission number is CF 14317 UO, engine number is
CF 14120 UE, body tag# 1 is T 13685 CF and body tag # is 14810 CF. The
paint from the factory is #82 Carmine Red and the interior trim code is #33 New
Tan. If your looking at this auction you know how rare it is to find a numbers
matching TR-6 with over-drive, only 73 K miles.
Mechanicals: The
car has had much work done and dollars spent and she is ready for the open road.
She runs and drives great. The following items where just completed this
week: New points, new plugs, new ignition
wires, new distributor cap, new rotor button, new fuel filter, oil changed, new
oil filter, new air filters, radiator serviced, new radiator cap & coolant
and a new fan belt installed. The car holds about 70 lbs. oil pressure at warm
idle and the car has never over heated. The car shifts up / down through all the
gears with no issues or noises. The rear end is strong and makes no noises. The
car starts right up with no smoke or shaking about. The car gets down the road
very well, has very nice acceleration and the over-drive transmission works
perfectly in 3rd and 4th gears. I would not hesitate to drive the car and
distance at this time. Also, last year the front shocks, front springs,
front sway bar, front bushings and the rear springs where
replaced.
Engine Bay: If you know these cars
and your looking at the engine bay you will clearly see this car is as original
as they come. She has all the right hoses, clamps and all her original emissions
/ smog equipment.
Over-Driver Transmission: Rare
option for this car and it works perfectly in 3rd and 4th
gears.
Interior: Is in like exceptional
condition and I'll let the photos speak for its condition.
Gauges: The car has all correct
"Smith" gauges and are in proper working order at this
time.
Exterior: The car looks nice in the
photos but I would still say the paint is of driver quality ( not show ) and the
car would benefit from a good buffing and or repaint. All glass is orginal Triplex and is cloud and scratch free. The wheels where
refurbished last year and look stunning and are wrapped in correct Michelin "Red
Line" tires. If you like the car with wheel trim rings don't fret as the car
comes with a new in the box set of 4 chrome wheel trim
rings.
Soft Top: The soft top is black
and is in very good condition. The soft top is correct for the car in that it
does have the reflective strip on the soft top. I'll have photos of the car with
the top up next week and will post them then.
Accessories: The car comes with a
top cover, car cover and a brand new Tonneau cover ( cover the cockpit ). The
Tonneau cover was professionally fitted and looks fantastic.
Underbody: This area looks original and in very, very good condition given the cars
age and I find no evidence of repairs or damage. Underbody and floor pan photos are
available upon request.
Trunk: The truck is rock solid (
see photos )and comes with a spare tire, lug wrench and
jack.
Extra Photos: I have some 70 extra
photos available showing more detail of the shocks / springs, all exterior body
panels, underbody and gauges while the car is running. Please just email if you
wish to see them.

is open to overseas bidders. The auction is open to overseas bidders and if you

above description is my observations and opinions and they very from person to
person so ask all questions prior to bidding. Again. not an expert just what I
know and see so please ask any and all questions you might
have.
I'm not an expert and my opinion of the car may vary
from yours so please look at the photos closely and if you need more information
or the extra photos I have available please ask prior to bidding. I know how
hard it is to purchase a car online so please ask any and all questions you have
prior to bidding or if you can come see and drive the car for yourself ( I
really encourage you to do so ) as I want the winning bidder to be satisfied
with the car when it arrives. Due to the cars age and having no way to warranty
the car I'm selling her as is. A $500

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.
