IT'S ALIVE! AUTOMOTIVE is proud to present this 1974 Triumph TR6
Roadster finished in the original color combination of Pimiento Red
over a Chestnut interior and a Black convertible top. Per the
accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate,
this TR6 was completed at the Coventry factory on July 8th 1974 and
was originally dispatched to British Leyland Motors of New Orleans.
IT'S ALIVE! is representing this TR6 on behalf of its long term
owners of nearly 40 years! Accompanying records document the car
all the way back to February 1981 when the first owner sold the TR6
with a mere 11,211 miles on the odometer. After being traded
between dealers, the TR6 found itself part of the personal
collection of a well known dealership owner in Quincy, Illinois. In
March of 1984 the Triumph was sold to Concours Auto Sales (Ellis
Imports) of St. Louis where it was sold to its third registered
owner with a noted 11,931 miles on the odometer. After putting less
than 3200 miles on the TR6 in just 16 months of ownership, the TR6
was sold to its current owners in September 1985. The incredibly
meticulous couple report that the Triumph was never driven on wet
or during winter road conditions under their care. A minor amount
of restoration work began in the summer of 1990 when a new Robbins
convertible top was fitted while a complete respray of the TR6 in
the correct shade of Pimento Red was performed in September 1990.
Some minor interior work was performed in 1994 including new
carpet.
Today the TR6 presents in above driver quality condition displaying
many original components and a mere 29,000 miles on the odometer.
An excellent assortment of documentation accompanies the TR6
including the original owner's manual, service records, numerous
odometer statements, previous bills of sale and the British Motor
Industry Heritage Certificate. The latter of which verify the
engine, body and commission numbers presented are all numbers
matching to when the car was first dispatched in August 1974. The
paintwork exhibits only minor wear that one would expect from a
respray that is 33 years old, while the brightwork appears as
original and the engine comparted appears as untouched! Jeff
Homsher, owner of IT'S ALIVE, was amazed by how well the TR6 runs
and drives; just as one would expect from a low mileage and well
maintained example. We are extremely privileged to represent this
low mileage TR6. If you are the next caretaker of this classic then
