1969 Triumph TR6

Highlights 

• Good condition throughout
 • Last owner for 20 years
 • Good history
 • Overdrive

The Appeal

The TR6 did well in the sales charts back in the Sixties with many examples being sold in the USA. 

It comes from, and represents so well, an era of motoring that had open roads and plenty of customers wanting a fun-time car, preferably with the ability to remove the roof.
That still holds true today with many TR6 enthusiasts enjoying their cars on high days and holidays, when these great classics are at their best.

The History and Paperwork

 • First registered in June 1969
 • Taken apart for restoration by the previous owner over 45 years ago
 • In 2003 it was still in a dismantled state in the previous owner’s garage and was bought by the current owner 
 • A comprehensive restoration of the car and all its components was then started and, once completed, the car has been used regularly by the current owner for touring holidays around Britain and in Europe
 • Regularly maintained and always garaged
 • Historic vehicle
 • V5c present 
 • Many invoices for work and parts across the years
 • Two sets of keys
 • Spare wheel
 • Workshop and Parts manuals

The Interior

 • Good overall condition 
 • New carpets and door cards
 • New Mohair hood
 • Original seats
The interior needed a fair amount of renovation during its renovation back in 2003. 

It still looks pretty good with the wood dashboard and instruments all in good condition. The carpets were replaced too, as were the door cards and it all looks in good overall condition still. 
The original seats are still present and not in bad shape, but they could certainly benefit from recovering or repair.
There’s not much in a TR6 cabin, but everything you would expect to find is there and works fine, with the mohair hood proving easy to raise and lower, providing a good tight fit and a snug interior.

The Exterior

 • Very good Cherry Red paintwork
 • Recently re-sprayed in its current colour
 • Good wheels and tyres all round
The bright Cherry Red paint, black hood and MiniLite wheels are a great look for this 60’s roadster. 

It sits nice and squarely on the road and overall presents really well, with only a few small areas of the beginnings of some bubbling paint to be found, and some slight damage to the paint work on the offside side of the boot edge and a ding in the bottom of the driver’s door. 

Chrome trim is mostly good, with a few pieces showing some pitting from age, but overall there’s little to see that detracts from its overall very nice condition. 

The Mechanics

 • Comprehensive restoration in 2003
 • Full engine strip and re-built to run on unleaded petrol
 • Full gearbox strip down and re-build
 • Renovated brakes and suspension
 • New radiator and fuel pump
 • Fuel injection
 • New clutch master and slave cylinders
 • Regularly maintained and serviced
 • Electronic ignition fitted
The comprehensive rebuild during 2003 addressed all mechanical areas of the car, steering, suspension, gearbox, engine and of course, brakes.
It has proved a very reliable car over the past twenty years, being used primarily for touring holidays and day trips out, always garaged and regularly maintained by the current enthusiast owner, the TR6 starts and drives very well, making an addictive exhaust sound in the process.
As its use has become less frequent it’s time for another enthusiast to enjoy everything that this TR6 has to offer.
