for sale

Price: US $18,995.00

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 rust-free, accident-free, unmolested, numbers-matching, 1971 Triumph TR6 with only 80K original miles in great mechanical and cosmetic condition. Acquired from a car collector who restored the car a few years ago and afterward used it sparingly. It is presented in arguably the best original color combination of Signal Red (Code 32) over Black 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 title. The glass is clear, the chrome is bright, the gauges, lights, turn-signals, wipers, horn, AM-FM radio, near-new tires, near-new convertible top, etc., are all in excellent condition and all function properly.
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.
With its chiseled good looks, this TR6 gets thumbs-up wherever it goes and is ready for cruising on a night on the town, enjoying back county roads or taking a long road trip. For more information just let me know.
