Here is my pick for the classic car for sale today that I would like to own. The first car that I bought was a 1974 Triumph TR6. I did love that car and quite often I think about buying another one.

There is no price estimate.

The color of this TR6 is unusual but I love it – yellow with some orange. The factory hardtop is very rare and valuable. A one owner TR6 with only 19,000 miles is quite a find.

There are only two things missing: overdrive which is very nice on the freeway and the regular TR6 factory wheels. I do not think that the TR6 came with wire wheels and this one has two sets! The first thing I would do is put the factory wheels back on which the seller says also come with the car.

I suspect it will sell for around $25,000 – what do you think?

Let us know what you think about this classic Triumph TR6 in the Comments.

If you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product being sold.

As a reader of My Car Quest you are different than other car enthusiasts. You don’t think of classic cars as a hobby but as art, a lifestyle, and an obsession.

You have different tastes and you want something different from My Car Quest than from other publications. I know this because you have told me so in the Comments and in private emails.

This is a place where we share stories and photos of our cars and adventures.

Just recently the owners of two different cars that I wrote about left Comments in a Post or sent me an email about their car. Reading what the owner of the car had to say is always entertaining and educational.

I love it when readers leave Comments or send me an email and tell me something I did not know. Sometimes they point out mistakes that I made in a Post. I am always happy to learn from readers who know more than I do.

I am only one person so I cannot write comprehensively about the classic car world. I write about what interests me and I hope it interests you too.
