I was test driving a 74 TR6 today I was considering buying. I have never driven a Triumph before so things that seem odd to me may be normal.
When accellerating and shifting gears, the rear end would settle what felt like 4-6" everytime you shifted gears. It was almost like the rear shocks were gone.
The car has not been driven much since a frame-off restoration 5 years ago. There are some oil leaks on the bottom of the engine, as well as the top (which I suspect is a bad filler cap gasket). Some of the paint is peeling from the frame and inside engine comp. but not too bad. I saw photos of the car as it went through restoration and it is for real. Any thing specific I should look for and expect in a car that has sat around alot for the last four years?
Thanks,
DB
