Enlighten me as to why this would be so cheap

Has 72k miles manual transmission(idk if these even had autos). Looks to be in pretty good shape, so I'm a bit curious as to why it's only 3k and hasn't been snapped up yet. Can't really afford to get it myself(or at least I shouldn't) but the way it looks tickles my brain in a good way

My 1976 Triumph TR6

Fully restored in 2013. Frame off restoration with a rotisserie. Body was painted the original color. Engine was completely overhauled. After the resto, it was basically parked in a climate controlled garage and only driven roughly 1.5k miles until 2024 when we decided to start driving it.

5 speed Toyota supra transmission conversion.

Original interior.

Runs and drive like a dream

The Triumph Italia 2000 project was conceived by the Italian Triumph importer Salvatore Ruffino. The car used a complete TR3 chassis supplied by Triumph, shipped to Italy where it was bodied by Vignale in steel to a design by Giovanni Michelotti. 330 were built between 1958 and 1963. Personal photo.

There is nothing so wrong in this world that a polished aluminum-bodied 1957 Triumph TR3 cannot cure. Other surprises include Girling discs up front, Alfin rear drums, a bored-out, high-comp engine with a big valve head and Webers, Ford 5-speed, and Quaife limited slip diff. What a tasty dish.

Triumph's Stag had all the right ingredients to be a U.S. market success: Crisp Michelotti styling, visionary Harry Webster engineering, even a lusty V8 engine. What it did not have was build quality. Poor execution and even worse post-sale care snatched tragedy from the jaws of Triumph.

Diff Help For LS TR4 Build

Hey all, I’ve got a question. I’d like to build a TR4 with a LS1 or LS3 as a engine, I’ve looked on quite a few sites, but for the most part they’re Ford 302 builds, if anyone has built it or has a rough idea of what mods or parts I can use to help put power down using what diff I’d appreciate it. I don’t imagine the a stock diff from the TR4 can truly deal with the power of a LS engine and it would just result in the tires being lit up.

Thanks for any advice given.

Agnetha Fältskog's 1968 Triumph Spitfire Mk3

So, according to the Internet, her (the ABBA singer's) white 1968 Triumph Spitfire Mk3, which she bought in 1969, belonged to someone in Hamburg, Germany, before it was sold to someone in the German federal state of Thuringia (Thüringen) in 2003, which is its last known location. After that, there is no official record of its whereabouts. And since this is Reddit and not the Internet: Does anyone have any information about what happened to the car? Has it stayed with the same (last) owner (who could that be?), was it sold to someone else somewhere else? What would be its current value? Would really appreciate it if anybody who knows something could shine a light on this.

Rocket powered Spitfire. Feasible?

So I have a dream. I want to buy a project Spitfire and a totaled Rocket 3 and swap the engines, possibly adding a supercharger kit to compensate somewhat for doubling the weight of the vehicle. My question is obviously is this feasible? Is it even possible to mount the rocket motor in the little Spitfire? Is the extra weight going to rip the motorcycle transmission apart? Can I get the bike shaft drive to connect to a car differential?

I know I'd be in over my head. I also know that there are easier and probably faster/more effective swaps. I just wanna make something weird and unique, but also fun and quick.
