The Appeal

For fans of brawny British sports cars, the Triumph TR6 sits at the top of the hierarchy, combining Karmann's muscular styling with the smooth power delivery of a 2.5-litre inline six-cylinder engine. Separate chassis construction ensured immense rigidity, while Lucas fuel injection offered punch performance.

This 1972 example has been comprehensively restored following a period of approximately 20 years in storage. Mileage records indicate the car covered fewer than 100 miles between 1976 and 2019, consistent with its extended time off the road. We're informed that there are 364 photographs documenting this process. The vendor describes it as a very nice example of the TR6, presenting a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-documented, restored example of this much-loved British roadster.
