This Triumph has been groomed to level one show car status, with a sharp eye on performance, correctness, cleanliness, reliability, modern drivability and the perfection of material finishes.This is not your typical Triumph TR6, it has lot invested in improving the TR for what we are all after, driving quickly and reliably on modern twisty roads. If you are looking for an original car, thinking it a better investment, then this car is not the car for you. I am a firm believer in knowing what your buying, not just letting the photos do the talking. Below is a very detailed description of this performance built TR6 show car.
Starting from an excellent condition. This special TR-6 embodies all of the most desired features, while still maintaining the correct profile and appearance. It has been in a continuing state of restoration, upgrades and refinements since its first stage of its restoration in 2004 by its previous enthusiast owners. On 10-20-2015 it received its final crowning touch, a beautifully executed show quality, PPG, base coat, clear coat, paint job, performed by the Action Collison Center in Little Elm, TX.
The high quality paint job is flawless, providing a mirror like reflections at every angle. The was completely disassembled for paint. The doors, hood and trunk were prepped and painted separately. All the lights, trim, grill and bumpers were also removed in the prepping process to produce this incredible paint finish. The paints surface quality also extends to the door jams, trunk, engine compartment and underside of the car. I just installed a pair of new TR-6 Union Jack stickers on the rear. I also added a new pair of small, high quality enamel Union Jacks and new metal Leyland emblems on the front lower fenders. I also have a reproduction, 1976 emissions engine sticker that goes on the drivers side, outer wheel well, that needs to be installed. I also have a set of like new Plexiglas wind deflector wings, that clip to the windshield pillars, not seen in the ad's photos, that come with the car.
The transmission shifts flawlessly, giving you perfect shifts every time and has a new clutch, new presser plate, new throw out bearing, new clutch master cylinder and new cluch slave cylinder. The engine has a very nice K&N type air cleaners and polished aluminum finned valve cover. The heads were shaved and a mild performance cam added. It also has a modern spin off oil filter conversion that uses the most common Chevy filter available. The cars smog ridden, Zenith carburetors / smog pump, were removed and replaced with a rebuilt pre-emissions SU HS6 carburetors, which are more efferent and reliable than the originals. The TR-6 is also running the Protronics, electronic ignition system, hidden in the original distributor. It has a recent coil, water pump, hoses, fan belt and strong starter. I just replaced the spark plugs wires, spark plugs, cap and rotor. The car received a new Performance Free-Flow Duel Exhaust System by Monza with beautiful chrome tips that has a intoxicating, range of baritone sounds. I just changed the oil and filter and the car has no oil leaks, 65+ pounds of oil presser. The 2.5 liter Six cylinder engine, starts easily, the temperature stays at normal even on the hottest days. The cars stock radiator was recently cleaned, no scale and has fresh green radiator fluid.This Six has a wonderful staccato sound at idle and will pull hard all the way to redline.
The TR6 IRS system makes the car handle like it is on rails. The cars steering, suspension shocks, brakes, all feels great and perform well in all conditions, like fast corners and extreme and highway speeds. When driving briskly you get very positive feed back to the steering wheel. The car has no clucks, squeaks or rattles or unwanted vibrations. The parking brake works with authority, front disk brakes stop the car fast and straight with good control in emergency braking until controlled lockup. The Triumph suspension sports all newer bushings front and rear, new Suplex heavy duty front springs and new Suplex heavy duty rear trailing arm springs, new front Spax shocks and new rear Koni shocks.The IRS system was gone through and has new axels and axels boot protectors. This TR also has new front rotors, new brake master cylinder, new front and rear brake slave cylinders, new brake pads and new brake lines on all 4 wheels. The TR6 has a good jack, small tool kit, nice.
The interior is like new and has it just received a custom made, Burled Ash dash panel that was stained to match the cars red paint. The cars interior is well insulated, it has Dyno-Mat on the floor, tunnel and firewall, with new factory type insulation on top. The TR-6's wood, leather, vinyl, cloth, carpet, chrome, steel, aluminum, glass, plastic, rubber and painted finishes are all near flawless and look new. The interior dash pads are perfect with no cracks, nice black seats, new black door cards, new black cards behind the seats, new black carpet, recent black rubber floor mats, new Triumph logo trunk mat, new black convertible top, nice black half Tonneau cover, a very clean high quality custom car cover is also included Their is also a new fire extinguisher mounted behind the passenger seat, not shown in the photos.
All the cars electrical, gauges, lights, switches, heater fan, wipers, horn, turn signals, flashers are in good working order, it will pass a safety inspection. All the gauges were just cleaned inside when dash panel was replaced. The head lights shine very bright with its new 55 AMP Bosch alternator and new Walmart battery.The TR-6 has a nice sounding Pioneer AM/FM/CD sound system remote and 6x9's in the rear in small boxes that can get loud and sound great. A separate modern fuse box was add to accommodate the sound system to take the load off the original fuse box and has room for other electrical connection in the future.
This TR6 is near flawless, very bright, shinny and flashy, it will win top honors at local car shows and gets attention where ever it goes. Their are very few affordable British cars that give you the raw emotions, sites, sounds smells and performance that the TR6 emits and this one has it on steroids. This Triumph is a perfect car for club sponsored events like rallies, hill climes and autocrosses and can easily take the FTD. The car comes with two sets of keys, original owners manual, repair manual, some receipts and a box of spares, both new and used parts.
The cars has three flaws that I need to mention:
1. The Red color is one of the most popular original TR6 colors, but the door tag indicates the car was originally painted red from the factory, The paint job was done properly and shows no evidence of the color change.
2. The chrome bumpers are in good driver quality condition, but should be re-chromed to bring them to show quality.
