Introduction
Dom Ginn
The TR6 is the embodiment of the British sports car and this CR example is the one to have.
The last of the separate chassis Triumph TR sports cars, the TR6 on paper is an updated TR5 with a chiselled Karmann styled body but the TR6 is distinctive enough to have created its own following. Referred to as not only one of the last true Triumph sports cars, but also the last of the traditional British sports cars by a mainstream manufacturer. It follows a theme of brutally powerful open-top sports cars, thanks to the fuel-injected 2.5-litre six-cylinder from the plush 2500 Saloon.
An unashamedly masculine machine, its no-compromise driving style and proven underpinnings made its first appearance in 1969. Its traditional separate chassis, independent suspension and tuneful 124bhp engine make the TR6 the ultimate British sports car experience. The positive road-handling and back to basics motoring ethic have the primal but hugely appealing attraction and as a weekend car, it doesn’t get much better. Devoid of driver-aid controls and all of the trappings seen on modern sports cars, the driver is in complete control.
This later 1974 car has seen extensive restoration work over its lifetime, with running gear and interior work being the most recently renewed areas. As the CR version, it signifies that it has overdrive on the 3rd and 4th gear and now has the original Lucas fuel pump replaced with a common upgrade improvement by Bosch. This is a UK car and comes with a stack of paperwork and the promise of a cherished past.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hi, does the car have a roof or hardtop
HI Mick – please see the comments below for a detailed answer to your questions. There’s also a picture of the hard top in the images. Cheers Adam TC
Hi Mick,
The car is being supplied with a hard top, a soift top, a tonneau cover, and a soft cover for storage in the garage. All are in good condition.
Thanks Michael, sorry missed the previous comments
Very quick question: I assume has overdrive and is operational? are there hardened valve seats (converted to unleaded). Many thanks
Yes to both questions
Hi. Assume there’s no soft top or hard top with this car?
Also, on the MOT history it’s states that the outer seat belt anchorage points are corroded. Was this ever repaired and fo dmyou have pictures of these areas ?
Hello, The car has both hard and soft tops in good condition and a tonneau cover and also a soft car cover for storage.
I have several MOT certificates from before and during my ownership, none of them mention anything about the seat belt anchorage points and I do not see any sign of corrosion there.
Please see MOT history from 2015 (before I owned the car) The Fail was on 23/07/15 and the same garage passed the car on the 05/08/15 so the corroded area must have been repaired satisfactorily.
