Up for auction is a 1973 Triumph TR-6 with a 4 speed
non overdrive 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. As
well this is a verified true numbers matching car which makes the car very, very
rare.
Heritage: This is a true numbers
matching car and I have a British Heritage
Certificate proving it as such. The production date is Dec. 1972, commission
number is CF 3837 U, engine number is CF 3941 UE, body tag# 1 is T 3996 CF and
body tag #2 is CF 3941 UE. The paint code is #72 Pimento red and the trim code
is #11 black. If your looking at this auction you know how rare it is to find a
certified numbers matching TR-6 and can be assured with the certificate it will
only go up in value. I just moved and misplaced the certficate letter but have requested a duplicate copy of the Heritage Certificate which should be here prior to auctions end. The request was sent to: Richard Bacchus, Certificate Officer at the British Motor Industry Heritage
Trust Heritage Motor Centre. The orginal order information is as follows:
Mechanicals: The
car has had much work done and dollars spent and she is ready for the open road.
She runs and drives great and the engine compartment is very original as seen in
the photos. The following items have been done in the past few months. New points, new plugs, new ignition wires, new
distributor cap, new rotor button, new air filters, new fuel filter, new fuel
pump, oil changed, new fan belt, new rear brake shoes, new front brake hose, new
thermostat, radiator reconditioned, new radiator cap & coolant, new battery,
new intake manifold gasket, new exhaust manifold gasket, new heater control
valve and the gas tank cleaned cleaned. Also, nearly every single coolant /
vacuum hose and clamp has been replaced as well as the carburetors being
adjusted and balanced. The car starts right up with no smoke, ticks or shacking
about. The car holds about 60 lbs. oil pressure at warm idle ( see photo of the
gauges ), engine is tight and I have never seen a single fluid drop under the car during my ownership. I would have no issue driving the car any distance at this time.
Electrical's:
Many hours and dollars where spent on going through this area and here is what
is working at this time: headlights ( high & low beam ), wipers, front &
rear turn signals, front & rear running lights, brake lights, backup lights,
license plate lights, heater / defrost fan, interior courtesy light, dash gauge
lights and the radio. The only thing I have not gotten around to is the horn.
Interior: Is in very, very nice
condition as seen in the photos and has a new complete carpet kit installed
along with new under dash / side Kidney panels ( made in England ), new door seals and a new Walnut TR-6 logo gear shift knob.
Gauges: The car has all correct
"Smith" gauges and all appear to be in proper working order at this time ( see
photo ).
Exterior: The car looks great and I just
had a mobile detail truck come out and hand wash and then wax the car. The paint
shines great and is smooth to the touch with no gritty feel. The soft top is
serviceable ( will keep you dry for the most part ) but I was planning to
replace it so the car comes with a NEW in the box soft top. I just painted the
wheels in correct "Moss" silver, installed correct mat black wheel centers and
installed new TR-6 wheel center decals. The tires are all matching Goodyear "
Invicta GS " radials that have good tread life remaining. The sills, rockers,
wheel arches and dog legs look to be rust free and I find no evidence of any
accident damage on the car.
Underbody: This area looks very good given the cars age and the frame looks very
good as well. I see no evidence of repairs on the underbody of the
car.
Trunk: The truck is rock solid (
see photos )and comes with a spare tire and jack. Sorry, no top cover or tonneau
cover. Car does come with a near new car cover and stowage
bag.
Buy It Now: The car is priced well
below it's true value and while I'm open to offers please don't waste your time
with silly low ball offers ( we all know what the car is worth ). The offers
would need to be above the starting price or current bid price on the
car. Please understand that I will only use E-bays prescribed methods to close
the auction so don't ask me to do other wise.
Shipping: If you need to have the car shipped to your location you can
get a free online quote from Able Auto Transport at: http://www.ableautotransport.com/ .
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 I'm selling her as mileage
expect and 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 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.
