Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a superb example of this
1972 TR6 Roadster Convertible in its original striking 'Pimento
Red' (color code 72 paint) with a Black (trim code 11) interior
with a Black soft top and tonneau cover and with a desirable
vintage 'Judson' supercharger.This is a highly desirable classic
British sports car - a completely rust free example of the
legendary chrome bumper TR6 roadster with a supercharged engine!
The trunk, floor boards, rocker panels and all the typically rust
prone areas are all completely solid and rust free - an obviously
always garaged example that has survived intact!The car will be
sold with it's original owner's manual, spare keys, service records
showing a recent engine rebuild and new Michelin radial red-line
tires. The 'Judson' supercharger was a perfect addition for the
2498cc engine and turns the TR6 into a smoking hot rod!The original
'Pimento Red' color paint is in great condition and the interior is
also quite extraordinary with its original Black bucket seats and
matching door panels, a lovely original steering wheel and original
wood dashboard. The Black color soft top is as new and the car has
its original tonneau cover, original wheels and its original spare
wheel in its storage compartment in the trunk. The Triumph TR6 was
introduced in 1969 and was a smoothly redesigned successor to the
TR5/250. It was facelifted by Karmann of Osnabruck, the legendary
German coachbuilders. The TR6 was produced by Triumph until 1976,
with the later year models suffering from the same dismal fate of
so many other marques of the period, with safety regulations
enforcing uglier bumpers and weaker engines. Therefore these
'early' TR6's with the attractive chrome bumpers have proved the
most desirable and have gained the common acceptance amongst
enthusiasts as being the last true TR.The TR6 also featured an
independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15-inch
wheels and tires, pile carpet on floors and trunk/boot, bucket
seats and a full complement of instrumentation. Braking was
accomplished by disc brakes at the front and drums at the rear.
Without a doubt this will prove to be one rare piece of British
motoring history - a beautifully unrestored example of an early
chrome bumper 1973 Triumph TR6, a perfect example for any Triumph
enthusiast or simply any classic British sports car lover to enjoy
today!
