[6pack] Tahiti blue TR6 for sale

[samuelsma at aol.com]

Listers:

Well, I finally got the Tahiti blue car running really well, after over 2 years of dealing with carburetion issues.? The idle is still a little unstable, but the car runs very strongly and smoothly and the problem with plug fouling is truly gone.? The car has been in the shop for 5 out of the last 6 months, and about half the time I have owned it.

So now I should enjoy it, right?? Well, if it doesn't sell I may do just that for the indefinite future, but I have purchased a 2005 Mazdaspeed MX5 (this is a turbo Miata with lots of factory upgrades) with 5900 miles that may be enjoyable like the Triumph without some of the service issues.? Also, it has A/C, airbags, a stereo, a factory warranty, etc. etc.? The story is that I saw the turbo Miata on Ebay when my 6 was stuck (indefinitely, it seemed) in the shop and I just lost patience with the whole vintage car thing and bought the Mazda.? I figured that a 5900 mile car at the right price wasn't going to last, so I grabbed it.? I fully expected to get the 6 back and to have persistent running/fouling problems.? Lo and behold, the car is really fixed now.? My deal with my wife is that I need to sell one of the cars, and she would strongly prefer that I sell the Triumph, as long as I can get an acceptable price.

Fundamentally, I have one guy in greater Miami who can fix my Triumph and he does superb work, but it takes weeks or months to get anything done and getting to and from the shop requires my wife to drive behind me for 45 minutes so I can have a ride home...well, you get the picture.

Now, I haven't actually picked up the Mazda in Tennessee yet.? That trip is scheduled for 2 weeks from now.? If the TR6? doesn't sell on Ebay and I actually prefer it to the Mazda when I get to drive the thing, maybe I'll sell the newer car instead.? But in the mean time, please feel free to check out my Ebay listing 190196388938.? I think it is an attractive combination of vintage and upgrade philosophies.
