Vehicle Description
The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by
the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the
best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of
the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were
squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For
the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for
other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with
fuel-injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox,
independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15" wheels
and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a
full complement of instruments. In total 94,619 TR6s were built of
which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK.
First registered on 1st August 1973, this fine example underwent
renovation work which included a respray in red between 2011and
2014. The red coachwork is complemented with a black hide interior
in good condition and a black soft top. The owner reports the car
is in good running condition with the overdrive working well.
Contained in the file are invoices from 2014 detailing an engine
rebuild with around 2,000 miles covered since; it comes with its
original block separate to the car. This Triumph is supplied with
an MoT test certificate, with no advisories, valid until August
next year. TR6 values have increased of late with the market place
realising the potential of these interesting British sports cars,
with this example offering good value for money. For sale by
