Description
We are selling this 1975 Triumph TR6 on behalf of a client . This is a low mileage example with just 56,000 miles on the clock which is documented with MOT certificates dating back to the 1970s. This TR6 comes with a British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate confirming it to be a right hand drive home market car. The car has been well maintained throughout its life with regular maintenance and upkeep. There is a sizeable amount of expenditure during the last ten years on mechanical updates and upkeep with invoices amounting to just over £15,000 since 2000 . Examples of work that has been undertaken in recent years include:
New unleaded cylinder head
New radiator core
Electronic ignition
New clutch
New drive shafts
New brake master cylinder
Bushes have been replaced, trunnion, radius arm and diff mounts
Wheels shot blasted and powder coated
New injector metering unit
Motalita steering wheel
New rear wheel brake cylinders
Stainless sports exhaust
New tyres
Stereo system
The list goes on and it is clear from the large history file that the car has been well cared for, including regular anti-corrosion treatment of the chassis and box sections. The most recent Waxoyl treatment has been completed within the last month and the car has also been recently serviced. The underside of the car is in super condition as a result of the care that has been lavished on it during its life.

The all important door gaps on this car are good and even and the doors are flush with the body and are very easy to close, something of a rarity with TR6s!
The car is fitted with overdrive and has a vinyl hood which is worn but is in usable condition. The interior is in excellent condition with one of the best dashboard's we have seen in a long time.
The car also comes with its original Triumph service passport book along with a Triumph TR6 PI handbook and there is even a TR6 sales brochure.
Overall this is a very nice car and the only negatives are that the passenger door has some blistering along the bottom and there are a couple of other areas of localised blistering and some paint fading on the bonnet. The car drives exceptionally well, the engine runs cleanly and the car has strong brakes. Its is a very well sorted example in our view with the potential to be brought up to A1+ standard without much expenditure.
In the current market top examples of TR6s can now exceed £20k and this car has been priced very keenly to achieve a quick sale for its owner. There are very few low mileage cars out there that have been as well cared for as this one. In our opinion this car is perfect for someone wanting a genuine cared-for car that drives great, an opportunity not to be missed.
