A very well presented TR6 the bodywork had a bare metal restoration in 2012 by Hereford Lowbake, fitted with new sills, metal finished panel repairs it was then refinished in Pimento Red Two pack. Beautifully glossy with a deep even shine, although it is now 9 years old it still stands up well and excepting a few age marks, would still look fine on the concours field. During the enthusiast ownership over the last 3½ years the mechanicals have had a thorough overhaul.

This 150 Bhp Triumph pulls cleanly and powerfully with plenty of torque. This is a fast car that belies its fifty year origins and would give many young upstart hot hatches a run for their money. Fully serviced engine fitted (Jan 2018) with new timing chain and sprockets; new core plugs; high performance aluminium radiator with electric cooling fan; Borg and Beck clutch kit with new Clutch slave cylinder (Nov 2017); Rotec exchange Alternator October 2017. New fuel system including; new fuel tank; rebuilt injectors; exchange metering unit; new fuel pump; serviced fuel filter assembly with new filter.

Benefitting from various upgrades including stainless steel bumpers, a full stainless steel exhaust system and alternator charging. The interior was retrimmed 2019 with new hood fitted by Waboo Automotive, Ledbury. Mot tested (although exempt) in August 2020 this TR6 comes with a file of service and restoration invoices, including fifteen old MOT certificates that indicate that the TR6 has spent long periods of time unused. It has been in a private collection of classics cars since 2010. A wonderful opportunity to purchase a well sorted TR6 ready for the summer motoring season.
