The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel-injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15" wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. In total 94,619 TR6's were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK.

First registered on 5th February 1971, this desirable 'CP' 150bhp is a UK supplied home market car boasting the sought after overdrive gearbox. The car was subject to a 'frame off' restoration completed in 2016. Stripped down to the bare metal, the supplied photo books show the meticulous attention given to the car throughout the restoration. Presenting beautifully in Yasmin Yellow, the paintwork is impressive having been carried out by the well renowned Yorkshire based Malton Coachworks. The rest of the work was carried out by similarly well renowned companies such as TRGB who rebuilt the engine to Stage 2 specification, all running through a full stainless steel exhaust system. A new mohair hood has been fitted complimenting the excellent interior. Owned by the vendor since 2016 the car has been cherished by him and has several trophies from concours events including a 1st place win in 2018.

Supplied with its V5 registration document, substantial history file, photo record of restoration and previous MoT test certificates dating back to 1987 as well as a current MoT test certificate valid until November 2025. This is an impressive example of a British classic. Good condition TR6's are difficult to come across and this one stands a step above the rest. Consigned by Will Penrose
