This fuel injected home market TR6 was first registered on 26th March 1974. Of the 94,619 examples produced between 1968 and 1976, there were just 8,370 produced for the UK market. This fine example has been the subject of much renovation work in previous years including a rebuild of the front suspension in 2015. Other notable work includes an overhaul to the clutch and brake system at a cost of £1,500. Recently the Triumph has received a service by marque specialists and is in good order. The body is sound throughout, however naturally over time the paint has developed a few very minor defects, but overall the finish of the paint is very good. The interior is also in good condition, as is the vinyl hood. Fitted with a desirable hard top this well presented example comes to the open market having resided in a private collection for almost four decades. An excellent opportunity to purchase one of Triumphs most successful models. Offered with a good history file, MOT to May 2020 and a V5C Registration Document.
