The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years, starting in 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 TR6s were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK.

This is an exceptional example of a UK supplied TR6 CP, extensively restored and tastefully modernised. The exterior is now painted in a highly attractive metallic red (Barcelona Red) which really brings the look of the car into the modern day and suits the lines of the TR6 perfectly. The car was full stripped to bare metal in 2019 and resprayed to a very impressive standard which still looks superb today, thanks to a full ceramic coating. The restoration of the car was extremely comprehensive, virtually no stone was left unturned. The interior has been upgraded with a pair of Mazda MX5 seats, a very popular upgrade for additional comfort and they don't look out of place in the TR6 at all. The dashboard has been changed to a beautiful walnut veneer dashboard, which really lifts the interior. Other additions are a classic looking Bluetooth stereo and inertia reel seatbelts.

Our vendor has owned the car since 2007 and possesses the skills to carry out a vast majority of the restoration work himself, with the invoices on file coming to a total of around £20,000 for parts and the paintwork. The engine was fully stripped down and had some machining work at Classic & Modern Engine Services in Bracknell, then it was fully rebuilt. This is a TR6 which is ready to be enjoyed this summer and wouldn't look out of place at any classic car show. The history file is extensive and documents everything carried out during the restoration and it's supplied with an MoT test certificate valid until Jun 2025 and a V5C registration document.
