Classified

I am a local senior citizen in Reno, and I have had a grill for years that supposedly came off of a 1950 jaguar.
I haven’t verified that, however, I found a picture years ago of a 1948 jaguar that it’s grill looked a lot like the one I have.
It’s not perfect, but it’s in pretty good shape and I always used it as a wall hanging.
I would like to sell it if someone is interested in it or could tell me who might be.

I was the second owner of this 1970 Triumph GT6+ (2014 photo). The car has been much-loved in my family ever since. I bought it in 1974 (I think it was a birthday gift to me from me) through Al Rehfield who owned a foreign-car repair shop and was a hot-air balloon enthusiast. The first owner was also a woman. I bought it for $500 and registered it in Tarrant County (Texas) for $20 sales tax, 75 cents title fee and $12.30 registration fee.
I was in college (in my mid-30s) and loved parking it on the University of Texas Arlington campus and getting extra attention as an “older student on campus” with a really cool car. Another favorite memory is pretending I was Bandit on the way home from just seeing the movie, “Smokey and the Bandit” with my daughter. My son, Steve, drove it while he was attending Tarrant County Junior College in 1978. My second mate, Paul Lyons, was driving it when the engine blew in the early 1980s.
Paul, my son Scott, and I began re-building the engine and were “souping it up” in 1980’s terms. Work, vacations, relationships and dedication got in the way, and my baby GT6+ lived in my garage several ignored years. When Paul and I moved to California in 1991, Steve agreed to keep it safe in his garage but never had any intention of restoring it. Scott loved it with everything in him and drove from Holland, Michigan to Fort Worth, Texas (early 2000s) to transport it to its “forever home.” He had it running and registered it in 2003.
It took several years to complete the restoration, and Scott did everything possible to maintain the initial specifications. His favorite drive was to a beach on Lake Michigan by the lighthouse. I went there with him many times. The drive had to include an excellent meal at his favorite restaurant on the way. He drove it often and delighted in the attention it always created. Scott died in 2022. Trying to keep the car in the family, Scott’s wife shipped it to us in Reno.

1971 TR6, clean car with rebuilt title due to an engine fire by previous owner, car has not been wrecked. All repairs done, and more work to suspension, brakes, shocks, Miata seats, good top and nice stereo. Car runs and drives well but engine does smoke once warmed up. Has good oil pressure and power, handles well, good clutch and transmission. I bought it last May, won’t pass smog and I will be moving mid year so the car has to go. I paid $8000 and that is what I will sell it for.

This is a 1979 Spitfire. The VIN is FM97517U. It has a four speed transmission, NO overdrive. I bought the car used in the late 1980s and have had it since. It was my daily driver for about 15 years. My wife and I moved to Europe for 10 years, leaving the car behind. Upon return to the US we got the car back on the road. It did need some body work and repaint. We have driven it occasionally over the past 10 years mainly at car club activities in Las Cruces NM. It is not a show car; it is a car for just having fun driving. Being a Spitfire, it has a natural inclination to leak motor oil, overheat in the summer, have dicey Lucas Electronics, and generally give an owner an ongoing project. It has just over 100K miles and still runs reasonably well. It has a good soft top, tonneau cover, missing a couple of snaps, spare tire and the emission control canisters (not actually installed on the car). We put on an aftermarket electronic ignition which has been working well. We are selling due to age and health issues preventing us from enjoying the car at this point in our lives.
