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.

Electrical's:  Many hours and dollars where spent on going through this area: headlights ( high & low beam / correct Lucas lights ) ) work , wipers work, horn works, front & rear turn signals work, front & rear running lights work, brake lights work, backup lights work, license plate lights work, interior courtesy light work , dash gauge lights work, glove box light works, trunk light works, hazard switch works and blower fan works. The cassette player works but not the radio.
 

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.
 
Overseas Bidders: Yes the auction is open to overseas bidders. The auction is open to overseas bidders and if you need to ship overseas try  Schumacher Cargo Logistics shipping for fast free quotes (  http://www.schumachercargo.com/  ).  Please have funds available at auctions end.
 
In Closing: The 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 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours of auctions end.

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, 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.
