Introduced in 1968 as a replacement for the outgoing TR250/TR5 models, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that "Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man's sports car in its own right".

This very striking Triumph TR6 has had an extremely extensive restoration, whereupon it was completely stripped and many new panels fitted. With the engine also out of the car, it too was subject to an overhaul along with ancillary components around it. Certainly, a labour of love for the vendor it is now complete and ultimately clothed in striking Bentley Orange Flame paintwork.

Due to the vendor’s situation and workload, alas he has been unable to use the car as envisaged, since completion. Any new custodian would need to use the car carefully, in order to ‘run it in’ with the usual fettling that a fresh restoration is deserving of. Accompanying the TR6 are many pictures of the restoration and the extent of work carried out. There are also invoices for some of the parts purchased for the restoration. The specification includes Willwood front disc brakes, Minator 8 spoke Minilite-style wheels (including the spare wheel), Talbot mirrors and more modern supportive high-back seats. Offered with an accompanying V5C.
