IT'S ALIVE! is proud to represent this 1975 Triumph TR6, presented
in its factory-correct finish of Maple Brown over a Beige interior.
Complimenting this TR's striking appearance is a Chocolate Brown
canvas convertible top with zip-out rear window, while exquisite
Burl Walnut wood accents are featured throughout the cabin.
Originally completed at the Coventry factory in April 1975, much of
the car's early history remains unknown. However, service and parts
records dating back to 2002 document the car's time in Tennessee
(2002-2012) and later in New Jersey (2017-2023). The Maple Brown
respray, while not listed in the service history, likely occurred
in the 1990s and still presents with a deep, glossy finish.
The service history reveals over two decades of meticulous care and
thoughtful upgrades. Parts invoices from Moss Motors and British
Parts Northwest document numerous maintenance items including brake
and clutch hydraulics, along with several tasteful enhancements.
These include a heavy-duty accelerator shaft bushing kit, spin-on
oil filter conversion, PerTronix electronic ignition, RetroSound
Long Beach AM/FM radio with Sirius XM capability, a two-piece
gearbox cover, and leather seat covers in Honey Tan with matching
carpet.
The current owner acquired the TR6 in early 2024 and has continued
the tradition of dedicated care and improvement. Recent updates
under current ownership include a two-piece polyethylene gearbox
cover, new 205/70R15 Redline tires from Diamond Back, an insulated
hood pad, and a fresh Dark Burl Walnut dashboard with matching door
tops.
In August 2024, the car was brought to IT'S ALIVE! for installation
of a rebuilt J-type overdrive gearbox, a new windscreen and seals,
and a restored windscreen frame. Later that fall, our expert
technicians installed a triple SU carburetor conversion from GOOD
PARTS-a notable performance upgrade that also gives the engine bay
a period-correct visual appeal.
Today, this TR6 both performs and presents better than new. The
Maple Brown finish-a color unique to 1974 and 1975 TR6s-retains
excellent depth and luster, with only minor imperfections visible
upon close inspection. A red pinstripe accentuates the body lines
and complements the Diamond Back Redline tires. Inside, the Burl
Walnut finishes lend an air of refinement, while the Honey Tan
leather interior and matching carpet enhance both comfort and
aesthetics. A wood-rimmed, cross-drilled steering wheel adds a
sporting touch and connects the driver to the road, and the
original factory steering wheel is included with the sale.
Additional touches include Talbot-style racing mirrors on both
sides, a polished stainless-steel exhaust, Triumph-logoed floor
mats and center console, a chrome luggage rack, and twin LUCAS fog
lamps. The original convertible top boot-dated February 1975-is
also included. The five-digit odometer reads just over 62,000
miles, which, while undocumented, is believed to be original.
IT'S ALIVE! is proud to offer this exceptionally well-sorted,
tastefully upgraded TR6-an example that drives and presents as few
others do. If you are the next caretaker of this classic then give
