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. Triumph initially turned to Michelotti for the body revisions - the Italian maestro who styled the TR4/TR5, however, he couldn't meet their schedule and the changes were ultimately achieved by Karmann. A total of 94,619 TR6s were produced, a mere 8,370 of which were sold on the home market. Crisply styled, its smooth 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 pretty-looking TR6 was supplied new in 1971 complete with conversion by SAH Accessories, the tuning shop operated by racing driver Sid A. Hurrell was synonymous with modified Triumphs of the period. Just prior to the vendor's purchase from a Triumph dealer in 2002, it was treated to an extensive restoration, at which point it gained the following: 40DCOE Weber carburettors, stainless steel exhaust system, overdrive in third and top gears, adjustable gas dampers, uprated front anti-roll bar, five new wire wheels, skid plate, hood and tonneau covers, detachable wind deflector and storage bag. Finished in the pleasing combination of Green bodywork and Tan interior, 'DUB 548K is currently described by the vendor as having 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, six-cylinder engine and manual gearbox. The car comes with a file containing an original handbook, old MOTs, old V5s and the current V5C.
