Introduction
Alan Stuart
Muscular, stylish and nimble – the TR6 was the pinnacle of the much-loved traditional TR styling.
Styled by Karmann of Germany the TR6 was first introduced in the UK for the 1969 model year. The car built on the tradition of the historic TR range in terms of both styling and fundamental engineering. Sporting more masculine lines than its predecessors, the TR6 was highly successful with the vast majority being exported to the US. Nearly ~92,000 cars were built over a 7-year production run.
The TR6 commands a strong following among enthusiasts in the UK. Offering a factory specified 120MPH top speed and 0-60 in a shade over 8 seconds, coupled with legendary handling it is well able to hold its own in modern traffic. The cars still look, sound, and drive fantastically.
This lovely example has been improved by current owner, Richard. It comes to auction after 4 years ownership having been imported from the USA in 2019. Presented in beautiful “Carmine Red” over a black leather interior the car has been sensibly upgraded to electronic fuel injection and has a programmable ECU. These improvements, combined with uprated brakes and rear suspension make this TR6 and eminently driveable classic.
This really is a delightful example form the classic era of British convertibles. But, don’t just take our word for it - take a look at the high resolution photos and videos to judge this lovely car for yourself.
This listing was written from information supplied by Alan after meeting Richard the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hello Richard
Has the car been put on a rolling road?
Also I plan to use the car quite a lot with a trip around Scotland and then on to Europe.
Possibly up to six thousand miles.
Would you be confident in this car to make this kind of journey,
After an initial check over.
You mentioned the hood being watertight would it stand up to Scottish weather?
Is the head unleaded?
If not what additive do you use?
Happily if I do get the car I only live in Eastbourne so not far.
One other thing what is the car painted In cellulose or two pack?
