Triumph TR6:
Rust? Kept in a humidity free bag it would rust.
Driveline? Leaked EVERY fluid imaginable, and some I don't know were ever installed. Why? Machining of the mating surfaces was done poorly. All older Brit cars suffer from this lack of ability to make the parts to close tolerances. It's why old Harley's all leak too. The overdrive broke all the time, and the clutch throw-out bearing broke every other week.
Cockpit? The gauges broke once in a while.
Electrics? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. You learn not to drive at night and signal with your arm.
Other bits? Well, the driver's window NEVER stayed up. It would have been better off with curtains. The wipers gave out every time it rained, as they were electrical and hated the wet. Ironic, huh?
The TR6 was quick and TONS of fun. Make a great 8th or 9th car. You'd save money long term and lots of skinned knuckles by buying a 1990 or 1991 Miata for cheap.
