This is the most sophisticated Triumph TR6 conversion every built. Certainly is the only one in existence. Project cost true fully over $95K and much careful planning and refinements over time.
It was professionally done by a local custom car shop in CA. Photo of different stages are posted in the shop's website. The shop's info will be given to serious buyer in respect to the shop's from work interruptions This is very unique and well rewarded accomplishment for everyone who contributed their efforts. It's is fast , drives solid , cruises quietly and smooth at 70 mph at only 2500 rpm - yes good gas mileage for type of performance and exempt from CA smog. Car has been driven regularly and very fun in canyons. Not only just a conversion but much on capturing details of vintage racing and refinishing of the engine to look raw aluminum finish that contrasted with the beautiful British green similar to old Jaguar , Aston Martin engine bay . It does not even look Japanese under the hood . Yes, this car can be track ready . It's art of automobile and unique .
The stock drive train is fresh 30,000km Nissan Skyline GTR RD25 DET turbo charged engine with Greddy intake and drive train from Japan . It is bullet proof , much desired and reliable . Parts are easily available . Biggest intercooler possible proper fitted . Engine behind front suspension for balance and handling . Stock turbine has been replaced with custom made turbine for higher performance ability and durability .
The car was track tested for safety after the conversion , performance and refinements as necessary .
Then the entire car was stripped and acid solution dipped to remove all pre-existing body work , corrosion and rust from hidden areas. This process alone cost $4500. Then the high quality frame off restoration begins with modifications to dash and additional circles below front grill and opening for center tail pipe to give maximum ground clearance with custom made exhaust brackets for stainless exhaust system. Process are supported by shop's posted photos. The car looks as impressive on the bottom as on top. Custom dash and interior without compromise to details . Finishing with canvas convertible top . it basically a brand new European sleeper hot rod .
In photos, notice the lower rear suspension arms are custom made raw polished alum with coil over shocks and disc brakes all around .
5 speed manual transmission with independence suspension limited slip 3:25 gear ratio rear end.
Interior is insulated with heat/sound shield insulation under carpets and custom .
Body is laser straight and very detailed and nicely crafted for show.
This is a very unique special project that was done out of passion for challenges and fun . This car is not for everyone. Each individual may have different preferrences. But for that special person who has the wealth of $45K as toy money and share the same interest, this is actually a bargain of a century that is turn key ready. Power to weight ratio is deathly.
Car is currently registered, insured, and clear CA titled . No test rides unless has $45K cash in hand .
Additional info for some postings:
The idea of period correct low back bucket seats will look very sweet. But for safety reason with such car, it's important to have head support in the event of accident .
The welded in custom metal dash actually acts as a lateral upper body support to reduce body flex.
This tock RB25 can safely hold up to 450hp . estimated little over 300 hp currently. The custom turbine has ability to push 500hp according to the manufacture.
For extra money, a much higher output and reliable RB26 DET spare engine that was in this car for six months is available with hidden smooth variable computer controlled 300 hp NOS system.
Will only meet at busy public place for safety . Will go over this car in the most honest details as possible .
