The trials season is just around the corner.......
Triumph based Class 8 trials car for sale: AKA 'Six Pence'.
Originally built by Steve Holder - Fortune Engineering near Cheltenham.
Triumph Spitfire chassis and 1500cc engine with fast road cam and twin 1.5" S.U carburettors. New electronic ignition and electric fuel pump recently fitted.
Triumph gearbox and Vitesse final drive open differential including hard steel planet gear pin with needle rollers. Differential ratio 4.1:1.
Independent front and rear suspension with great ground clearance. 14” strengthened rear wheels fitted with part worn King-Pin tyres, and 15” front wheels fitted with Firestone tyres.
Engine is in great condition, lots of oil pressure and a very healthy sounding exhaust note. The roller pin diff has only completed four classic trials and 3 PCT’s since being fitted. All g’box drive gears are quiet and never jump out of engagement.

I have owned this car since 2006, I have thoroughly enjoyed trialling in Six Pence. It is a very reliable and capable car, more capable than my results suggest! With previous owners Six Pence has achieved numerous MCC awards including Gold awards.
Other interests and a young family force sale.
I have many spares for Six Pence, too many to list, but they include: a second freshly refurbished hard steel needle roller open differential (also 4.1:1), a complete Triumph gear box, numerous sets of front and rear wheels/tyres……
Current location is Gloucester.

A great opportunity to compete with much more expensive machinery.
What does the V5 say it is?
ReplyDeleteOh and I forgot to ask, which spitfire rear suspension does it have, transverse leaf or coils?
ReplyDeleteHi

ReplyDeleteRegards, Dan
I will get around to updating the pictures of the rear of the car, under the bonnet, and post a picture of the wet weather kit fitted. I need to round up more pictures and get the car out of storage if the pics I have aren't suitable.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of the rear and under the bonnet are out of date and don't do Six Pence justice. The car is cleaner and tidier now.
