The Triumph TR6 was produced from 1969 - 1976 and was the
best-selling of the TR range when production ended in July 1976;
however this record was then surpassed by the TR7. In total 94,619
TR6's were built, of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370
were sold in the UK. The bodywork closely resembled that of the
previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were
squared off and all TR6's featured inline six-cylinder engines. For
the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors; it also
featured a four-speed manual transmission and an optional equipment
overdrive unit - a desirable feature giving drivers close-gearing
for spirited driving while remaining an excellent touring car for
open motorways. It also featured independent rear suspension, rack
and pinion steering, 15 inch wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the
floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of
instrumentation. Braking was accomplished by disc brakes in the
front and drum brakes in the rear.
This two owner from new, 61,000 mile Triumph TR6 was purchased by
the vendor in 1994 when the car had covered just over
42,000miles. He used the car for five years driving it
about 18,000 miles and since 1999 has kept it in dry storage. In
May of this year the TR6 was taken to Motion Automotive Consultants
to be fully re-commissioned and serviced which included fitting
four new tyres and cleaning the car inside and out. This very
original, low mileage TR6 is supplied with a V5C registration
document, an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2014, a file
containing invoices and old MoT test certificates which verify the
mileage and the original Triumph Passport service books. This is an
opportunity to purchase a very original, iconic TR6 which is
undoubtedly one of the greatest British sports cars ever
produced.
