Easy, there only 12 TR6's left in the world. Many more 914's. Supply and demand.

I don't know that they actually do.

I've seen some very nice TR6's go for 10 - 15k and I've seen some very nice 914's go for the same.

There are many on this board that call other people car snobs... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

TR6's are pretty cool rides. Always have been. And unless the values have really gone up since I was into Triumphs a few years back I don't think they are much more expensive than the equivalent 4 cylinder 914.

OK, I had a look and they are a little more expensive than a 4 cylinder 914. Closer to /6's sort of. Actually they're all over the place. And there would appear to be more TR6's around than 914's.

They do have a loyal following and they are fun cars. I had a '68 TR250 (a TR4 IRS with the 6 cly) it was a one year only model. I've seen quite of few of these go well north of 20K. I use to call it my "Flexi-Flyer" pulling in and out of a steep driveway you could see gaps change in the panels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Sounds like a well built car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

With all the electrical problems these cars have I just don't want to bother. They are neat looking though.

Because we like the Limeys more than the Krauts. The Limeys have remained our steadfast allies ever since we beat the crap outta them.

Possibly because the TR-6 was the pinnacle ot the Triumph lineage. The evolution of the TR-2, -3, -4, -4A, -5 (almost unknown), -6, -7 ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) ), not to mention the lesser Heralds, Spitfires, GT-6s left the TR-6 as a sort of "high water mark" for the marque. The 914, by comparison, holds a relatively obscure place in the PORSCHE firmament and isn't perceived as the achievement of its' manufacturer as the TR-6 is by its adherents.

I don't understand. Are you saying you can't get a badass 914 for 20 Grand?
Build up a teener with a Raby and dust off any TR-anything.
