Triumph TR-6 (1974)
for sale

Price: US $17,500.00

Description:

In its day the Triumph TR6 was equivalent to the modern day Corvette. The TR6, the consummation of the original TR line, is an attractive, fast and very enjoyable two-seater. It's fine performance, good road handling and reliability, plus its sheer character, make it a sports car which is a joy to drive and own. Many saw the TR6 as the last of a breed of hairy-chested British sports cars, and as the only appropriate replacement for the Austin Healey 3000, which had ceased production in 1968. The Triumph TR6 came standard with rack-and-pinion steering, 15-inch wheels and wide tires for its day, disc brakes up front, pile carpet, bucket seats, and a full compliment of instruments set in a wooden dashboard.
Offered for sale is a accident-free, unmolested, numbers-matching, 1974 Triumph TR6 with only 119K original miles in great mechanical and cosmetic condition. It is presented in arguably the best original color combination of Signal Red (Code 32) over Tan and comes with an original jack, matching spare wheel and tire, original tools, owner's manual, near-new top boot cover, near-new tonneau, a complete set of keys and a clean/clear California title. The glass is clear, the chrome is bright, the gauges, lights, turn-signals, wipers, AM-FM radio, near-new tires, near-new convertible top, etc., are all in excellent condition.
With its original 2.5 liter six-cylinder, twin-Stromberg carburetored engine mated to its original close-ratio, all syncromesh 4-speed manual transmission in a package weighing under 2200 lbs., this TR6 delivers sweet-revving, spirited performance and a very musical exhaust note. The semi-trailing independent rear suspension has a natural tendency to squat under power which only adds considerably to the sensation of jack-rabbit acceleration from standstill. With its large 15 wheels, long final gearing on its 4-speed manual transmission, comfortable seats and generous trunk space, this TR6 cruises effortlessly with two passengers and their luggage at freeway speeds.
It is currently registered through April of 2017 and will never require to be smogged in California. With its chiseled good looks, this TR6 gets thumbs-up wherever it goes and is ready for cruising PCH, a night on the town, enjoying one of San Diego or Riverside Co. back county roads or taking a long road trip. For more information or to come take a look, just give me a call or text and thanks for your interest. If the ad is still up, the TR6 is still available.
