This is just crazy

[Gliderman8]

I guess prices have gone up a lot
TR6 for how much?

 

[Geo Hahn]

Somebody wants their money back. Not bloody likely.

Nice car though.

 

[Gliderman8]

For that price you would think it would at least have overdrive.

That is one of those that the wife is telling him to get his money back of what he spend.

I've never claimed to be an expert on the TR6; still, I don't think I've ever seen an "occasional rear seat" in one before. Was that ever a factory option?

 

[Gliderman8]

The rear seat also caught my eye Andy. NO, I don't think it was ever intended for a rear seat but rather a "shelf". Also, I didn't see any seat belts for anyone that sits there.
Really, there is no room except maybe for a small child.

And I think that's the key here. By the time of the TR6, Federal safety and other laws were pretty strict about this sort of thing. If Triumph/BLMC were to have had any thoughts about the TR6 being a "2+2," they certainly would have had to install belts.

A very small, legless child with the top up (the rear window angles forward fairly steeply), and no room at all with the top down.

That said, in my younger days I transported three passengers in my 4A on occasion. I had a roll bar at the time, and with the top down, you could sit two on the rear deck, feet in the shelf area, hanging onto the roll bar.

It does seem to be at the high end of the market - Hagerty shows a #1 condition ("best int the world") '74 TR6 valued at around $35k.

There's a very telling line in the description: "This TR6 is exceptional in absolutely every way and cannot be duplicated for its asking price".

That doesn't surprise me. I also wouldn't be surprised if it finds a new home. Only takes one person who wants it.

On the market, but not for sale.

The area where it is selling is one of the most affluent parts of the country... lots of $ to spend.
Somebody not at all familiar with the car will see it and will haggle for say $40K and it will be sold. The buyer will think he got a deal and the seller will be jumping for joy.

Just a thought - My guess is at $40k the seller won't be jumping for joy. I expect he will be losing $$ on it.

My guess is that the wife said that the car had to go! So....he put the car up for sale. She didn't say the car had to be priced at a level where it would sell! Varoooooom! Gil NoCal

 

[DanB]

Isn't that one of those high-end dealers?
