1973 Triumph TR6 (LHD)

**Vendor supplied images**

Highlights

  • Comprehensively restored
  • Full bare metal respray
  • Mechanical overhaul, including engine rebuild

The Appeal

This Triumph TR6 was built in Coventry and shipped to the United States, where it spent many years before returning to the UK in 2021.
While in the US, the car was treated to major restoration work, including to the body and chassis, with the trim and interior being finished in the UK. The car has had a bare metal respray and is now presented in excellent condition.
The TR6 remains a popular member of the Triumph stable, with its straight-six engine giving this little sportscar plenty of power. Its classic roadster styling is timeless and smart, so the car will look great on any driveway.
