1973 TRIUMPH TR6
Registration Number: FDH 675L
Chassis Number: CR18310
Recorded Mileage: TBA
2 owners from new
Currently owned since 1978
Subject to much recent maintenance and improvement
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.
Registered to its first owner in the West Midlands on 1st July 1973, incredibly this lovely example has had just one owner from 1978 to the present day. The TR6 has clearly been much loved, as can seen by the quality of finish to the paint and nicely trimmed leather seats.
In recent times the Triumph has been stored and maintained by well respected specialist David Trowell of Classic Car Management of Bath. Over the last 5 years the TR6 has enjoyed much attention to keep it in top running order. Notably the suspension has been uprated, with lowered springs, uprated shock absorbers, and replacement polyester bushes. The drivetrain has received attention with new driveshafts and universal joints, and a lightly overhauled differential. The fuelling and ignition have been improved with new injectors, a modified throttle and electronic ignition. The cooling system has benefitted from a replacement radiator and other improvements, and the interior enhanced with replacement clocks. The paintwork presents very well; the interior is in tidy order and the convertible roof has been replaced fairly recently with a mohair item.
Sadly for sale due only to family bereavement, this is a very good looking and nicely sorted TR6 which we are sure will provide much fun for the lucky next owner.
Once paid for, lots can be collected from Dore and Rees by appointment. We can recommend shippers to assist with the collection and transport of lots to you. Payment and collection are due within 5 working days of the auction.
