The Attractions
The TR6 was the last in a series of very special British sports cars that adopted large-capacity engines with high torque for an easy and engaging driving experience. Karmann updated the design, but the classic lines created by Michelotti are still clearly visible.
The European models were equipped with a fuel-injected version of Triumph's powerful and elastic 2.5-litre six-cylinder engine with 150 hp. This stunning white '71 TR6 spent its entire life in Italy where it was visibly kept with great care and benefited from the warm, dry climate, as is evident from its condition.
It has been partially restored but has great originality and a unique character that will attract the attention of enthusiasts. Important details such as the excellent alignment of the doors and the tidy engine compartment confirm that this is a TR6 in really good condition. It looks like it's ready to go and provide lots of fun.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
