Thanks for checking out my ad.
Here is my beloved TR6, up for sale. She's been through a complete restoration in 2004 and runs great. Lots of S2 mods. A real looker ... and powerful ... and she sounds like few other TR6s. Always stored in a humidity controlled garage, and I always stored her indoors in a Car Bubble from November to May. She's only seen rain a handful to times since 2004. No rust whatsoever.

Additional Notes:
1. The last photo is the reason that I am selling the TR6. I'm raising a pair of German shepherds and (1) they don't go in the car, and (2) they leave little time for solo recreation.
2. The S2 Spec is based on a series of cams from stock S1 through fast road S2 through racing S3 S4. The S specs were designed by Kas Kastner and the British Leyland / Jag-Rover-Triumph Competition Department. Primary sources are Competition Preparation Manual for TR-250/TR6 and Kas Kastner's Spitfire, GT-6, TR-3, TR-4, TR-250, TR-6 Triumph Preparation Handbook.
