Description:

NOTE - This was listed yesterday 6-21-15. Ebay deleted the listing overnight, claiming there was no VIN number. Wrong. Just for the record, the VIN is CF55698U0 - Here is their explanation for the VIN# field : Required for all vehicles with a model year of 1981 or later. 17 character limit, not case sensitive. The letters O, I, and Q never appear in a VIN.
This is a 1976 car. I'm relisting it now (6/22) 6.46a.m., apologies to all bidders !
I’m proud to offer this 1976 Triumph TR6 for sale. It is Heritage Certified with all numbers matching - the restoration had over 900 hours of labor, and well over $20, 000 in parts. Only 6, 100 miles since complete frame-off restoration. The frame is powder-coated, the underside is fully detailed as is the engine compartment, with polished carbs & intakes. The engine has been upgraded, and the exhaust is stainless steel, to give you the best sounding and driving car out there. Drive worry free all day long – the oversized radiator fan keeps everything cool. The suspension was redone to the highest standard, and is ultra-smooth. The 4 speed (+overdrive) transmission & short throw shifter assure the proper gear for every purpose. Although beautiful enough to be a show car, this is not a delicate trailer queen – it’s meant to be driven and enjoyed.
The steering is upgraded, the interior is next to perfection, and the burl wood dash is a masterpiece to behold. Without reservation, this may be the nicest, fastest, best restored, highest quality TR6 in the U.S (possibly the planet), which handles like a dream! Everything is included – totally restored mechanically and physically. *“The 2.5 liter engine, reminded us why we love inline sixes… namely for their broad, climbing, torque curve, and those wonderful sounds they make when you wind them up just a little” *(Classic Motorsports Nov. 2010).

Every system and component in this TR6 has been restored and/or replaced, to create a sophisticated, sporty, reliable classic that can be driven daily. Superior sound system ($2, 200), five

redline tires mounted on wire wheels, Moss’ “wire wheel spinner”, new top, full tonneau cover, top boot cover, superlative paint, wonderful finish. Tune-up by the leading performance European sports car authority less than 100 miles ago, 43 photos and dozens of purchase orders and receipts of the restoration.
He looks great from every angle, and drives as good as he looks. (I purchased the car from actor Jason Lee, and he nicknamed it Teddy - so it’s a “he”.) A totally rebuilt (and improved) 2.5 liter straight six, twin S.U. carbs, best intake and exhaust systems, all-independent suspension, high-performance redline tires on new wire wheels, tuned suspension, great shifting, top notch brakes and the legendary Triumph handling combine to form a driving experience like no other. A huge amount of documentation, receipts, diagrams & instructions are included.
With everything the TR6 has to offer, it’s easy to see why prices on these powerful sports cars have been skyrocketing, with no end in sight. This is the best in the country, possibly anywhere, and it’s been a California car since soon after it’s restoration in Fla.
