Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this highly original, 1976
Triumph TR-6. The car was sold new, April 24, 1976, at George Byers
Sons, inc. of Columbus, OH. These appealing sports cars came well
equipped from the factory with a spirited 2.5 liter inline 6
cylinder engine, 4-speed synchromesh transmission(this particular
TR6 has a brand new transmission with overdrive added), 4-wheel
independent suspension, front disc brakes, radial ply tires, wheel
trim rims, reclining bucket seats, walnut facia, speedometer with
trip odometer, tachometer, lockable glove box, pile carpet,
interior courtesy and trunk lights, reflective outline on soft top,
zip down rear window, front air spoiler and luggage rack. Other
highlights are tonneau cover and convertible top boot. This TR6
remains in excellent, highly original condition. The engine bay and
frame and underside were undercoated by Tuff-kote 6 days after the
car was purchased new, April 30, 1976 and the paint appears and is
believed to be mostly original. As a result, the original core
structure of this TR-6 is outstanding. Mechanically, this 1976 TR-6
is one of the best driving TR6's we have had. The car accelerates
in all gears, shifts perfectly, tracks straight, brakes properly
and behaves well in all driving situations.
This car has recently received over $50,000 in renovations and
restorations. Much of the work was done at "Rods &Roadsters" in
Memphis Tennessee. Recent replacements that are brand new include:
battery, alternator, wiper motor, water pump, fuel pump, fuel
lines, gas tank and gas lines, radiator and heater core, wiring
harness, all lights and signals, all hoses and gaskets throughout,
all gauges were recalibrated and rebuilt, A/C system installed in
glovebox, transmission with overdrive gear, high performance brake
kit, brakes, brake lines, pads, calipers, suspension kit, struts,
shocks, tie rods, competition springs, clutch, convertible top. The
carburetors were also rebuilt. There was also heat and sound
matting installed into the interior under the carpet. The dash was
replaced with true walnut and looks beautiful. The car also
received a new ignition system.
The Triumph TR6 is the last of the traditional British Roadsters.
These cars offer a pure, open air, sports car motoring experience
that is unique to the marquee. The sound, feel and handling is
