1972 Triumph TR-6

Triumph TR-6 (1972)
for sale

Price: US $17,500.00

Description:

I have read many listings from private owners and professional car dealers on Ebay over the years that indicate to me they clearly do not know Triumphs. This car was a one owner car, I am the second. I have maintained it to its original roots in every way possible. I am active in my local Triumph car club, the car has been professionally maintained by British car specialists in my area. I can provide a detailed log for everything I have done to the car in the 11 years of ownership.
If the Buy It Now price is paid, I will be providing that person the following:
· TRF HP2220 - T6 Convertible Top, E-Flex, black, zip out rear, reflective stripes. This is the top of the line available from Robbins. It has gotten so expensive, TRF no longer carries it. Has the correct inside color. Will include straps and pins as well. 571097 – Pin, top soft webbing, RFK495 – Hood webbing kit
Here are the main items for your review. I started to list items and realize it is just too long. I will send anyone who asks my detailed log for the 11 years that
INCLUDES what I paid
for each item and service. Use the contact Ebay member function to get my email and phone number. Original dash, tool kit, key set, window sales sticker, toneau cover, Heritage Certificate, seat belts (I replaced with new for safety) all included. What other listing have you seen that?
You could be riding in your new TR6 with the top down for Memorial Day. What a way to start the summer!
Ask questions before bidding.
Sold as is.
No warranty implied.
