A lister recently posted regarding a TR6 for sale.  The car sounded quite good 
and the price reflected same.  I have often wondered what my car is worth.  
Perhaps I should consider parting with the jewel.  I just don't drive it enough 
to justify the garage space.
 
The car:
 
http://www.triumphowners.com/54
 
The details:
 
1976, TR6, White
One owner
31,000 Miles: It has always been a "play" car.
All original down to the tires.
Speaking of tires: Very good, no checking
Clutch Master Cylinder has been replaced.
Brakes new this spring, I needed something to do. 400 miles on them now.
Rear springs new last fall.
Points, plugs coil and rotor bug new this spring too.
All of the few replacement parts have come from VB.
 
Dealer added in '76 for showrooom display:
Rear luggage rack
Roll Bar
8-Track Stereo, it still works.
Wood laminated mahogany Nardi steering wheel.
 
Fuel gauge has failed to operate.  The float is the likely culprit.
 
Condition:
 
In general, excellent.
Exterior finish: "Factory grade" luster
3 minor rock chips.
Chrome: Excellent
 
Interior: Excellent
Crash pad has a one inch crack from being used as a thumb rest when closing the 
choke.  It only is visible when pressed, so I don't do that.
Upholstery: Tan, perfect. Shows absolutely no sign of wear.
Seat foam is beginning to disintegrate and sift out from beneath.
 
Top:
The top has been up about 5 times and generally just to run it up and down.  It 
is kept in the "down" position with a cloth folded in to pevent abrasion of the 
windows.  The windows are crystal clear.
 
Under the hood:
Excellent except,
Finish is damaged and minor surface rust on the driver side wheel well due to 
fluid spillage.
 
Frame:
Good, minor surface rust.
 
Electrical:
Perfect and original down to and including the lightbulbs.
 
I am really not interested in selling.  But the car vs. the money in hand (and 
the garage space) may be an arguement.
 
What might I expect to get for this car?
 
Thanks,
 
Scott.
