Beautiful driver

1974 Triumph TR-6 Overdrive

Over $40,000 was spent on the restoration of this 1974 TR6 with overdrive.The restoration, less the interior, was completed in Washington State in 2006.I bought the car out of Calgary, Canada two years ago where it was kept in a heated garage. I completed the interior last year.This is a fine example of a driver. Everything works. The car does everything as expected. The soft top frame comes with the car along with many books and records.I also installed a modern radio with iPod and telephone bluetooth connection.The seats are heated.Some of the original build pictures that came with the car have been included in this ad.I have priced it to sell. Circumstances force sale.

There are two other things that are worthy of mention about this car:

It seems that all of the Triumph TR6 forms discuss, at length, two TR6 “hurdles.”

The first of these is the “TR6 Sticky Clutch.”

The second is the “TR6 Rear Clunk.”

This car had both of these afflictions when I purchased it.

I fixed the first “TR6 Sticky Clutch” by replacing the clutch release bearing carrier with a TR4A/6 carrier and an adjustable clutch slave cylinder release rod as supplied by Revington TR.

It was this decision to fix the “TR6 Sticky Clutch” that encouraged me to refurbish the interior at the same time, as the transmission is removed only through the inside of the car.

The car was a joy to work on as all of the parts are new, clean, and have had very minimal use.

The second “TR6 Rear Clunk” I can NOT find. Upon inspection, I found all of the frame mounts for the differential and the rear suspension to be in superior condition. The differential seems well within tolerance and has new grease. The propeller shaft is new. All of the “soft” mounting parts are new. Hmmm… So in conclusion, the car has a “clunk” when initiating forward movement after backing up. This seems to be a common form discussion with often no remedy.
