Vehicle Detail
For Sale is a 1971 Triumph TR6 that has received a full frame off restoration. Engine is a 2.5L Standard Triumph 6 Cylinder with a 4 Speed Transmission and 3.7:1 axle. Front and Rear Suspension is independent. When shopping for a Triumph TR6 make sure you check the engine crankshaft for endplay and the rear suspension and differential at the frame for rust and cracks. The restoration was completed in 1991 and was documented with 35mm photo's which can be supplied as requested. This was before the popularity of Digital Camera's. I have had the Triumph for over 20 years and it has been restored by a professional mechanic and maintained by the the same. Vehicle shows 89,500 miles but is not accurate as the Speedo has been replaced. There are less than 10,000 actual miles on the restoration. This is a nut and bolt restoration that took place over 20 years ago. Frame was sand blasted, restored and reinforced per recommendations from Roadster Factory and Grassroots Motorsports ( now Classic Motorsports).Frame was sandblasted, painted, all attaching bushings were replaced, suspension was renewed with new bushings, uprated Roadster Factory Springs and control arms were sand blasted and repainted.
