Description:

Triumph TR6
Want a project to build a Triumph TR6 this car would be a great candidate, I am not a expert on European cars but to the best of my knowledge this is a complete and original car. It has been setting indoors for the last 20 years.
Car would require a complete restoration, I will describe to the best of my ability:
Mechanical:
Motor starts and runs strong with good oil pressure. We bled the brakes and so the car stops as it should. Clutch engages and car can be driven, but since it has sit for a long time clutch does slip some in higher gears. We replaced the fuel tank, Fuel filter and rebuilt the bottom of both carbs and they are working correctly, but with the dual carbs I think some adjustments need to be made to run perfect. We also replaced the spark plugs and changed the oil, motor is sound and doesn't leak any fluid.
Exterior:
Car seems to have original (lacquer??) paint that is cracked and faded, would need to be re-painted. Body itself is solid around wheel wells and is straight. It does have some rust on the passenger side door and also on the passenger side rocker panel.
Interior:
Interior would need a complete restoration: seats tore, dash cracked, carpet shot, door panels shot, convertible top gone etc...
On the bright side the seat frames and cushions are good, all gages present (electric, fuel not working), floor pans/trunk pans good
Obviously this car needs some work to get where you would want it, but it is a solid start with a good body, frame and seems like a solid engine. Car is also basically complete. I have many pics, hopefully this will help you see the condition. You are certainly welcome to see in person if possible, just contact me to arrange.
