We recently brought this car back from Colorado and it is ready for a new owner. The body is good on this car, but it does show signs of previous rust repair on the floorboards. The paint is pretty good but does have places where paintchips have been touched up - nice paint, but not show car quality. The engine is strong with good oil pressure and compression, the brakes have just been redone, and new Vredestein tires have just been fitted on to refinished wire wheels. The interior is in good shape with both the seats and carpets having been redone a few years ago and the interior panels and top have just been replaced with new items. The sidecurtains are there but will need restoration. The car has quite an agressive look with the small mouth nose and no front bumper, and the parts are available new if one wanted to add a bumper. A good looking TR3 at a reasonable price. $15,100.  (stock #612)

1961 TR3A

We bought this car from the estate of a friend who operated a well-respected British car shop in Portland a few years ago with the intent of doing a full restoration. Reality is setting in, we have many cars set aside for restoration, but not enough time to restore them all. The body is in good shape with no rust repair work needed. The floor pans have been professionally replaced with correct reproduction TR3 floorpans, the body has old primer covering what appears to be the original signal red paintjob, and car seems to be basically pretty straight. The interior is old and shabby and will need a complete redo. The Portland shop did a fair bit of mechanical work to get the car to the point where it was a reliable driver and was licensed for the road. The brakes were redone with new master cylinders, hoses, and wheel cylinders, a new generator and regulator were fitted. In the front end new ball joints were installed, inner and outer tie rod ends, and Upper a-arms bushing were replaced. The engine runs well with good oil pressure and compression. All electrics and gauges work as they should. The car is a driver, but the tires should probably be replaced due to age. This car is a fairly easy project only really needing paint and interior. $9,400   (stock #489)

1962 Triumph TR4

This Montana car has been off the road for many years and is an excellent restoration project. The car came off the road for a
restoration years ago when a exhaust valve went bad. We rebuilt the cylinder head with new valves and got it running. The engine runs well and has good oil pressure, but there is a bit of blue smoke meaning that the piston rings should be done at some point. The exterior body is quite straight and appears to have mostly original paint, and only has a small amount of rust showing on one outer rocker panel. The car did sit outside for a few years, and as a result there are a couple small patchable holes in the floor. There are also some holes in the upper inner sill that sit just above the floor and there are new panels included
for this, but I don't think the full panel replacement is justified. The chrome and trim is all in pretty nice shape, and the car appears to be basically complete. All in all this is a fairly easy car to do a restoration on, and will be a valuable car when completed. $4,100   (stock #644)

1966 TR4A

This California independent rear suspension TR4A needs a full restoration, but is budget priced.   The car has been off the road for many years so all the mechanical components are of unknown condition, and the engine will need a rebuild for sure.   Despite being a California car, the body does have some rust in the rocker panels, and the rear deck area, the frame doesn't show any rust apart from surface rust.  The fenders and doors are in pretty good shape, but had all been stripped to bare metal so we put a quick coat of paint on the panels to protect them from surface rust.  The car seems to be complete and doesn't have severe rust like most Canadian cars.  This makes it an ideal restoration project for someone who doesn't mind putting in sweat equity to end up with a nice relatively high dollar Triumph when completed.  $ 2,900.   (stock #598)

1969 Triumph TR6

Here is a rare 1969 TR6 that we brought back from California.  The car came off the road many years ago, and will now need a total restoration.  The body is very clean with no rust evident, but we did have to replace one floor pan due to outside storage.   The original colour of the car was red, and the trunk and underhood areas still have the original paint.  The engine runs  well, but count on redoing all ancillary systems such as the fuel system, cooling, and hydraulics.  The complete interior will need replacement, but all components are available and not overly expensive.  This is a chance to restore one of the rare early 1969 TR6's with all the unique 1969 model year bits including the ultra rare Rostyle hubcaps.  A super price for a running, rust free car - just ask someone who has restored one with rust. $4,700 $5,900   (stock #555)

1970 Triumph TR6

Here is a Southern California TR6 that has been garaged for almost 20 years.  We got it up and running again, and it could be used as is with a bit of work, or as a basis for a restoration.   The drivetrain seems really strong, but the brakes are soft and will need attention.   The body is very decent with only a little bit of rust in the bottoms of the front fenders where the cowl vents drain.  There is evidence of previous body damage in the right rear fender area.  The paint is old and needs to be redone, although it is still  presentable.  The interior is old and original, and the windows in the top have yellowed.  The car is fitted with the rare optional wire wheels, and still have Michelin redline tires fitted.  This one is a winner, and look at the price.$5,500  $6,500 (stock #574)
