If you know of a TR6 in a similar condition that is available *now* and at a reasonable price, then I'd love to hear about it.

So, JJ, what did she run you? (Only if you want to tell, of course,) It reminds me of my '74, some things better, some things worse! Best of luck!

I second Randall's suggestion about SCTOA. Nice group of guys and gals; I look forward to the Saturday Breakfast meetings the 1st and 3rd of the month, at Paty's in Toluca Lake

Well, I haven't yet bought her, but am very close. So ethically I shouldn't disclose the price I've agreed. What would you pay, based on what you can see in the photos?

What's wrong with The Roadster Factory? They have most all parts mentioned.

They do? I must say I find their web catalogue hard to navigate and search, and they seem to take ages to send out a printed catalogue. I'll take another look on the web.

It's worse than that ... their complete TR6 catalog is two volumes, and only one volume of it is available on-line. And that volume is not available in print !

Sometimes it does seem like Charles Runyan (owner and sole proprietor of TRF) is more interested in Triumph than in running a business. But he is genuinely interested in Triumphs; owns and drives several of them himself (including one of the very few genuine LHD TR5s in the US); and only sells parts he would use on his own cars.

TRF does use factory part numbers though, so if you can find a copy of the original Spare Parts Catalogue for your car, it makes an excellent reference. That also means you can sometimes look up part numbers on other vendors websites, like
Revington or Rimmers and then order from TRF.

Reprints of the factory SPC are available I believe (although expensive), and originals are very occasionally sold on eBay.

However, if you can get your hands on the set of TRF catalogs, they are generally regarded as being one of the best references to all the variations of TR6 parts.
 
I last used the "web catalog" for all the green water hoses and did not find it hard to use. Also, I received the "Triumph TR250 & TR6 Glove Box Companion 2007" which is a parts catalog. The pictures are large and clear AND many ARE IN COLOR!
 
However, the "Glovebox Companion" is a very incomplete catalog with only the most popular parts listed.

The full 2-volume TR6 catalog is roughly 12 times larger (although I have no idea how many parts that translates to).
 
Try teamtriumph.com. I bought some stuff from them for my 69 TR. They were very helpful and the price was pretty good considering I could not find it anywhere else.

Good luck, Pete

Thanks Pete: I came across that place in my searches, but they seem to say no shipping, which is problematic for me.
