Leaving for Nottingham, 1969 Triumph TR6...

1968 Triumph GT6 customer car after much mechanical restoration work and tuning, also including shorter front springs and front end rebuild. Nice GT6. Sometime around 2016 in Apache Junction, Arizona.

1973 Triumph Stag acquired in Arizona now somewhere in Germany. Sold and exported in 2017.

1971 Triumph Stag the day before driving it across the U.S to Tempe, Arizona in 2012. What a trip! Sold in 2017 and now somewhere in Germany.

All have been sold!

I was made aware of a 1968 Triumph TR250 restoration project for sale yesterday. It is owned by an older gentleman here in the States and I should have more information soon. For sale here in the U.S. or can be exported, you provide your shipping arrangements. If you have any interest contact me and I will relay the information and photos as soon as possible. Complete but running full restoration project.

*Also FOR SALE, a 1969 Triumph TR6 driver in very good overall condition, straight, solid and never restored in Triumph Racing Green, or Conifer. All original and unmolested, always adult owned and maintained. I am the third owner with a clean, clear, open, State of North Carolina Title in my name ready to be signed over. Only 7,141 first year 1969 TR6(s) ever produced so you can imagine how many solid, straight rust free and unrestored survivors are left here in the States. This TR6 runs excellent with much work done and 98,000 original miles. Many spare original factory parts included and bids/offers starting at $8700.00 USD.

*1960 Triumph 10 Estate Wagon FOR SALE also. Last year of production, 1958-1960 and one of 300 made and imported to the U.S. This example has the 1147cc engine, 4 speed transmission, bucket seats, fold down rear bench seat and straight rear axle. A unibody car with front subframe, all solid structurally and original has been off the road the past 3 years. a California car that I purchased in the Phoenix Valley 7 years ago. Four doors and with a rear "barn door" also has the one year front fenders. Some surface rust in places and rust throughs at the bottom of the doors but still a very light and easy restoration. Under 50,000 miles on this car and again a clean, clear and open State of North Carolina Title in my name ready to be signed over. All original and unmolested example, accepting bids/offers starting at $7500.00 USD. Contact for more information and arrangements.

1968 Triumph Spitfire restoration project with factory British Racing Green. Complete and overall solid car needing complete restoration. All original car and never modified other than a color change to orange, a nice example and very much worth restoring. Clean, clear, State of North Carolina Title in my name ready to be signed over to the new owner. Bids/offers starting at $4700.00 USD.

*Triumph parts inventory for TR3, TR4, TR4A, TR250 and TR6 also with some parts for Spitfire and GT6 for sale, all or individual pieces.

Blast from the past...!

Nice to have a little visit from TR royalty, click on the link to read the news item on our website

Quick pic of the Triumph 10 Estate Wagon and Knight in the back of his ride.

TR3 Advert from 1956 for the Northern Ireland market. This market was supplied with FBU stock directly from Coventry UK. Clarence Engineering Co Ltd were the sole importers for Triumph cars in Northen Ireland. Incidentally the TR3 was circa £75 dearer in Northern Ireland than the equivalent spec CKD TR3 in the Republic of Ireland. This financial difference was 2 months average salary in those days!

Knightshift Mechanical Restorations updated their website address.

I just picked up this 1965 TR4A this past Saturday. Seems to be a nice example and is currently cooperating nicely. Might just be a keeper!

I found this 1969 Triumph TR6 in a garage in Wilmington, N.C. this past week. The owner was the second, since the early 1980's. He had started restoring the car in the early 1990's and lost interest. Never wrecked, 95% solid as a rock and all original and complete even if it is partially disassembled. 98309 actual miles and a good, clean title. The previous owner was one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with. Needless to say, I am very happy with this new addition and hope to have it on the road very soon!

After purchasing this car almost a year ago without a title, I was informed today that a new Arizona title to my 1960 Triumph 10 Estate Wagon is on its way via USPS. I am stoked! Just in time for the Fall weather and Knight is ready to ride in his Triumph. So now it is official, I am putting on the surf racks on top,and the hula girl goes on the dash....!

Looks like I have been REDUCED to more demanding priorities since moving back down south this year. Oh well, somethings always in the way of progress. Green grass and high tides forever!!!

Knightshift Mechanical Restorations updated their phone number.

current TR4A project the day I finally got it home

KNIGHTSHIFT is currently undergoing changes! We are strictly a private auto collector that performs our own restorations and mechanical repairs. We will be offering hard to find British car parts, and also new rebuilt S.U. and Zenith Stromberg carburetors, intakes, and throttle linkage for Triumph TR3, TR4, TR4a, TR250, and TR6, as well as most all other British cars using these specific carbs. We are now located in a private, undisclosed facility in North Carolina offering our products online. After four years in the Phoenix Valley area we are glad to be back HOME!

1967 TR4A Solid Axle Car.

Newly remanufactured, completely gone through and modified. Ready to be mounted and tuned. This set is going on a 1974 Triumph TR6. The intake has been cleaned inside and out, including wire brush polishing on the exterior finish, (NO PAINT,EVER!). Contact us for more information, prices, etc.

Proof that a clean desk is the sign of a sick mind!

1968 Triumph GT6.

This is a 1968 Triumph GT6 that has received several repairs and upgrades. It was lowered in the front with new, stiffer springs and completely rebuilt front end. Also carbs, distributor, etc., etc. The little beast was a real screamer when it left!

These are some of the nicest braided steel brake lines we have come across, coated in nice quality clear plastic. Certainly some of the best we have ever seen. We get these direct from England.

This is a recent engine bay for a 1970 TR6 that we are upgrading for reliability and performance. Upgrades include aluminium radiator, stainless steel fuel lines slightly redesigned for optimum cooling in Arizona's extreme heat. Also modified intake, and of course Kas Kastners velocity stacks for increased air flow.

This is a set of ZS CD175 Carbs recently done for a customer's 1970 E-Type Jaguar in Michigan. Completely built from the bodies up, we actually had to replace everything due to the original carbs just simply being worn out. The customer was extremely happy. See Russ Racer on FB.

Knight, the shop mascot. Always ready to play ball or go for a ride. Certainly one of the best friends, ever. We love German shepherd dogs!
