1976 TRIUMPH TR6

Very original TR6 in clean, unrestored, unmolested condition.
77,221 original miles and believed to be true mileage, but it is not verifiable.
In storage for 10 years which accounts for low mileage
Excellent body panels with excellent door gaps and correct seams. Doors open and shut with little effort.
Original frame throughout with no welding or repair. Original differential mounts as well in perfect shape.
Original floor pans with original paint and some surface rust showing as typical for 40 years of life.
Paint is possibly 20 years old and shows well with nice shine. A few small bubbles are evident (see pics) and some touch ups are visible (brush) on some small coin size areas but keep in mind this is an "unrestored"  no body filler car.
No rust in battery tray.
Original top from 1976 with reflective stripe is serviceable but could use replacement. (top starting to spilt on each side). Not many TR6's still have the original top on them! Rear window is poor (cloudy) but still unzips. 
Superior engine bay with all original hardware, clamps and fittings as it left the factory.
Trunk is very clean with no rust and spare tire is an original Redline from day 1. 
Carpets and interior panels are original and show normal wear for 38 years. Door panels are especially warped and could use a new set but they are original.

Air pump present and functioning up until 2013 when waterpump was replaced with single pulley type (early model) so pump belt was removed.
Fantastic driving TR with no mechanical issues. Brakes, suspension and steering is all excellent.
Perfect gearbox with no synchro problems or clunky drivetrain issues. Shifts beautifully.
All gauges function, lights handbrake etc.
Heater fan appears stuck and does not work due to lack of use.
Much recent mechanical servicing performed in the last 2 years and ready to drive and enjoy. (see list)
Engine runs strong and starts well with 80+ PSI oil pressure on start up. Clutch is as new.
Freshly tuned with all new tune up items and fresh oil and OE canister type filter.

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.
