1973 1974 Triumph TR6

Highlights

• Purchased approximately five years ago from a retired Triumph engineer
• Accompanied by a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate
• Extensive history file with receipts and historical photographs
• Three former registered keepers

The Appeal

The TR6 is one of the last of the true Triumph roadsters, powered by a characterful inline-six and dressed in handsome Karmann-penned bodywork that maintained the legendary British sports car's unending reputation for fun and dynamic driving. This US-specification 1974 example, now registered on UK plates, looks very original throughout.

With just three former registered keepers and a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate confirming its factory origins, this TR6 is loaded with character and looks in fine order. The vendor tells us that they have garage-stored it under a dedicated cover, maintaining it regularly and keeping it cleaned and polished to a high standard.
