Hello, my name is Robert Shaffer. I'm a freshman college student in
northern Virginia and I've been looking for my first car for quite some
time. In my search for a car, I have found myself at the Triumph. I
thought about MGs shortly (my best-friend in high school had one, I
loved it) but they never really had the look I wanted. Until now I
didn't think I could afford a nice looking car that was also fun to
drive. I saw some Triumphs on the highway and was very impressed. I
don't know abuot where you all live, but around my place there aren't
exactly Triumph cults lurking around every corner, so I have come here.
I'm interested in knowing where I can find used TRs (oh yeah, I'm looking
at only TR6s (sorry)) and how much I can expect to pay for one that's not
a rust bucket. I have absolutely no problem having a car that I can work
on a lot. In fact I've always wanted a car that I can turn inside out,
but the FI cars of the late 80s and early 90s have ruled that out.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, any advice on the subject would be
very helpful, as I really have no other source to go on. What could I
expect to get for around $1500? (you're laughing, aren't you?) Is a car
in that range going to have a lot of rust? Please feel free to "spill
your guts" on your experiences with the TR6. Thank you very much!
Thankfully,
Robert Shaffer
