- How to stand out from the crowed with reliability and comfort. British cars had an evil reputation so why not keep the best, like the style and fix the rest. For More Information: www.ebay.com/itm/131351698351?...
all i can say is this is one of the best put together cars i have seen. beautiful work and so sorry i wasn't around to buy it when it was for sale - that would have been a keeper for me
Bill, you're my kind of guy. Build it, drive it. Some people think a trip to the local cruise night is a road trip. You know what it really is.
In the mid seventies I was in my early twenties and owned a couple of TR-6's. First one was a '70 that I drove to New Orleans and the second one was a '73 that I drove to Dallas Texas. Both trips started from my home in New Jersey and those TR's were my daily drivers. Oh how I would love to have bought this one you built but as you can see, I'm a little late. Hope you are well and still trippin !!!
I’ve owned a 1953 MGTD ,1955 MGTF1500 , 1964 AustinHealey Sprite , and a 1979 MGB that I owned for 14 years and originally was my daily driver I’ve always wanted a older TR6 and I must say. This one featured is one of the nicest ones I’ve seen all the upgrades are tastefully done and Professionally Executed one of which are my favorites are the Power Windows and the upgraded seats I also like original Smith gauges on my British vehicles I do also want to do a V8 conversion on a MGB. At some point
An amazing restomod! The builder is brilliant!
Amazing walk through. Love to see fellow British Columbians making great automotive content. I have a TR7 I'd love to put this engine in
I love it .. I wish more people would do builds like this .. bravo
We didn't get to hear it !, It looks lovely , I like the fact that he balance it too. Nice job.
Ruined a classic! Will never sound, run or handle like a well tuned TR6. Just an abomination of which this guy is illogically proud of.
@@mrpeepers541 you're just silly
Nice to see a great BC car, TR6 one of my all-time favourites
FANTASTIC JOB would love to own a TR6 like this one day :-}
I had a 1971 TR6 carmine red when I was working my way through college. Brings back good memories except for the high maintenance. They had a unique sound. Nice car. Would like to hear it.
A few years later, but still, A very impressive vehicle. I would have loved to hear the exhaust on it.
Lovely conversion, looks great.
wow this car sold for over $35k, I'm sure the car was worth that much because it's probably about the closest anyone could get to building the perfect car, I'm just amazed that someone was able to look past it being a Triumph TR6 and actually recognized how great the car really was....
this is the greatest build ever, i'd take this tr6 over any other car i can think of, cobra, viper whatever....
Yes this would be a very reliable little set up with a more power & torque. Very, very nicely done Sir 👏
Beautiful car,masterfully built project.
Very impressive, obviously a professional...
It is Beautiful and Amazing. This man is a genius
You are deluded.
@@jeffhildreth9244 and you are Jealous of him sir ! Lol .
The Triumph Straight 6 is not unreliable with a few modifications and a modern straight 6 would have been much more appropriate.
Very reliable once you put a reliable motor, transmission, rear end, and suspension, and change all the electronics.
@@JP-dw1fp Rubbish, the engine is reliable, the injection needs a modern fuel pump. Nothing wrong with the other aspects. A triumph with a large American V6 lump changes the car from what it is to a Frankenstein's monster. The V6 is a poor design, inherently imbalanced and expensive - shouldn't exist.
Bill, please let me know your modifications. What I have now is Marc's big throttle body (57 mm ?). his headers ceramic plated as you do, port matched to gaskets, I am guessing similar HP but I'm not sure.
Here's an incredible find for British #Sports Car lovers . . . .
That's look very nice wow
What a beautiful build!
beautiful kit car
Maintain your TR6 properly.
They're very reliable.
Don't ruin your car.
Take a driving class.
You can build a TR6 that is basically stock that will take you to the point where your knuckles turn white. Most people don't drive in the 90% tile.
Glad I am not the only one to find this rather heretical. ;)
He already ruined it, what an insult to the car.
@@jeffhildreth9244 how did he "ruin it?" Triumph cars were always badly put together on a budged of nothing, the only plus point is they looked better then the cheaper but also badly (cheaply) build mg's so no way one can ruin this car by replacing cheap components with much better ones!!
How did you make it work north south how did you make it rear wheel drive re bell housing to motor
Another TR 6 bites the dust
Another beauty destroyed. destroyed.
Another TR 6 improved the way it should have been built in the first place. Finicky Stromberg carbs and under braked
It's his car, he can do what he wants with it
What an incredible insult to the car.
Looks later than 1970. Fender badges weren't added until late 1972?
Beautiful build its a credit to you! Would you share how you made the v6 rear wheel drive i think one in a astro van all wheel drive 4l60
The conversion was completed at British Restorations of Kelowna, British Columbia by Bill Sinclair
@@JCVdude thank you for your help
where are you now and are you still doing these refits?
Very cool car.
als deze wagen te koop moest zijn kocht ik hem direct,wat een auto...
Where is this? Canada?
THIS CAR IS SPECIAL
Everything but A/C👍🤠
My '72 MGB Roadster has a heated floor on the driver's side....the exhaust pipe runs right under my right foot!
Ha, I remember that on my MGB when I was a teenager LOL
Nice
Beautiful conversion ! Do you have a kit to do this please
thank you and sorry no
@@JCVdude what bellhousing did you use thks
Where is it now ?
I bought a car from this gentleman 10 years ago, a 1978 MGB Roadster, claimed one owner, original mileage, full history. It was really odd when I looked at the car because after looking it over and returning with the cash, Bill seemed to not remember from 5 minutes earlier. To cut a long story short, the car had no history, the engine was not the original and although Bill claimed he maintained the car for the original owner for the previous 15 years there was no cylinder head gasket installed from some prior work.
My naivety I suppose, I was annoyed with myself for handing over cash, I should have turned away with Bill's fake memory loss. I still have the car, but it's not the original mileage full history car I was sold. I know Bill is well known in his hometown as the MG and Triumph guy with a wealth of knowledge, but his behaviour was certainly questionable.
The guy can't pronounce Impala correctly.
Beautiful. restoration upgrade. A bit more than I'd say is necessary being a purest and a lover of "original" ..but as as old guy with an old Porsche and being hearing impaired as well, I need the louder exhaust note. Maybe with a coupe and hard top its just different. Just saying
Great point!
110hp standard? I guess that’s US smog, they were 150hp in the Uk
No, the UK cars had FI, referred to as "petrol Injection" in Britain, US cars had twin carbs. I believe they were Stromberg 2 brls. Have no idea why Triumph couldn't get the FI versions into the US.
@@kenster865The US didn’t get FI due to emissions standards.
Hello is this car still for sale? Does it have a hardtop? How tall are you? Didn't this car come with a roll bar? How much are you asking?
Sorry, sold very quickly after the video got on RUclips...
1111pyramids1111 this is a bit late but in Britain you can still pick up Triumph spitfires for under £5000, there are some good examples out there, they will mostly always appreciate in value especially in the states, you can kit them out to change from right hand drive to left, the MG BGT is another similar looking car for similar prices, I have had both and to this day I regret selling them, I sold my MG in a fit of temper when it blew the head gasket the morning before I set off for my holiday, I did it 200 miles away leaving my father to sort out the details, a few hours later I regretted it, act in haste, repent at leisure, never a truer word said, anyway, good luck looking for a great British sports car, there are many fine marques out there.
by any chance is it still for sale
sold
WOW ..............
Still selling or sold already?
sold
Where's the engine sound
Beautiful resto mod. Is that a stock tranny?
Cammaro transmission
i missed how much he was asking for that beauty..
He's listed it on ebay. I've put the link to his ebay ad into the description of this video. On there, starting bid is US $35,500.00.
+JCVdude dude my neighbor is selling a Triumph TR7 with a v6 engine in it for $600!!!!! I can't wait to buy it!!! There is nothing wrong with it at all!!! He is just getting a lil too old to drive it he said :)
Put a V6 from gen 6 Camaro it’s 348hp
great job and engine mod
"it didn't meet my standards ..." meanwhile , the front license plate is mounted askew
Smoke ?
Carb and distributor instead of electronic hokus pokus would make car real
Why?
Greed and idiocy.
@@jeffhildreth9244 My favorite reason..Your Fan Jerry
Should have used a Buick 3800 supercharged..
Unnecessary, even the UK fuel injected engine was totally reliable ONCE you replaced the stock fuel pump which was a Lucas windscreen wiper motor completely inadequate for the job.
@paul austin That's your opinion, I had mine for 4 years and drove it as a daily driver and it only failed to start once
What a shame...
Mmmmmmm... The engine ..it’s not a true classic now🇬🇧🏴☝️
Your weird dude 🤣
I wouldn't buy anything from this guy he sounds and looks decidedly fishy.....trying too hard on the technical.
I get the impression he could care less if you believe him or not. The car builders I know could care less if you believed them or not.
Yeah, yeah... but he does seem shifty.
Junk
What a weasel.
