1967 Triumph Herald 12/50 for Sale - $2,000

I have

owned this car for the past ten years but have never attempted to restore it, having been satisfied with just keeping it running. A previous owner did a partial restoration and most of the significant pieces are there.

I have removed the head because of a stuck valve.

I do not have time to work on it but it would not take much work to get it running again. looking for a Triumph enthusiast to give it a good home

1978 Triumph Spitfire for Sale

I am selling my 1978 Spitfire. I always wanted an old car to drive around on the weekends, but like a lot of people, I have come to realize that I do not have the time to enjoy it ( I think I have only driven it about ten times), or the patience to learn about maintaining an old car. My wife is also expecting, so the money and space in the garage will be greatly needed. The vehicle itself is very nice. The previous owner had rebuilt the engine, and did some work and repainted the body. The car runs very well, and the body and interior are in excellent shape, with very nice blue paint, and blue and black interior. The top is in good shape also. I have collector plates on the car (less than $300 a year for insurance). The car is aircared until July 09. The engine is very strong, and starts up every time. Like all old cars, are a few things that don't work, but nothing that someone with some knowledge about vehicles could fix on their own. The car generally in very good shape, and a lot fun. I just don't see myself using it as much as I originally thought. I am asking $6,500, but I will hear all offers

TR6 Information Wanted

Did you ever own this 1976 TR6 - CF54309U

Hello fellow Triumph enthusiasts. I'm asking for help in pulling together the ownership lineage and history on my 1976 TR6. I wish I were less anal... I appreciate this ad is a long shot. The Commission number is CF54309U and it's colour was Pimento Red (72) with a black interior (Trim 11). My BMIHT Certificate tells me the car's build date was March 10, 1976 and it was shipped to British Leyland Motors Canada Limited, Halifax on the vessel "Tosca" in May 1976. I think it was later shipped to BC for sale as a new car. I bought it in BC in 2008 and have been able to trace ownership back to 1991 with the help of previous owner Doug Chinnery who had the car for 15 years. I've love to hear from an owner or someone who knew the car and of course, to know where the car was sold new. Thankyou.

TR3A Information Wanted

Did you ever own this TR3a? TS/39825-L

It was built in England on Nov. 24, 1958 and shipped from the factory on Dec. 10 to Standard Motors on Seymour St. in Vancouver. Probably sold as a 1959 model because that was the year on the registration. Based on the fact that the front of the right chassis rail was crushed and filled with dirt & grass I assume it was rallied for the summer of 1959 before being sold to a UBC student from whom I purchased it on a wet windy night in early January 1960. The car was originally red w/ black interior and served as our family car until it was retired in 1972. It languished in storage for 28 years until I could finally restore it in 2000. The chassis # is TS/39825-L, the engine # is TS/40508-E and the body # is 1014838. Neither the MVA nor ICBC can help my tracing due to privacy concerns so if anybody has any info. that might help I'd like to talk to you. Contact me and I'll phone you to discuss.
