1969 Triumph TR6

The Triumph TR6 was the best-selling Triumph in history when production ended in 1976, but was later surpassed by the TR7. More than 94,000 TR6s were built, ninety per cent of them to US specification. The TR6 was a refined sports car. It featured pile carpets on floors and boot (trunk), plush-looking bucket seats, a lovely wooden dashboard and a full complement of instrumentation. In the US, it featured the six-cylinder engine that was carried over from the TR250, while the UK version had a more powerful fuel-injected engine from the TR5 that included the Lucas mechanical fuel injection system. It traces its lineage back to the four-cylinder Triumphs: TR4, TR4A, TR3/TR3A and TR2. This stylish six-cylinder sports car is regarded by some as the last true Triumph.

This delightful example is most attractively finished in Oxford blue with a black interior and has been recently subject to significant expenditure. The last owner spent approximately £14,000 on mechanicals and an engine rebuild. There are bills to substantiate this work in the history file. The current owner has continued with various aesthetic improvements such as a full respray, new hood, new dashboard and replacement seats. Supplied with an MoT test certificate until May 2013, this TR6 offers classic British motoring for a most reasonable outlay.
