1971 Triumph TR6 (LHD) For Sale

The Appeal

Like almost all Triumph TR6s, this little sports car was exported to the USA. Of the nearly 92,000 produced, only 8,000 also were sold in the UK.

The car seen here has since made its way back to these shores, arriving in 2019 having undergone a thorough restoration. It is now presented in excellent overall condition. The paint work is fantastic, with a deep shine, and the car is reportedly in mechanically fine fettle.

The straight-six engine is fed by twin carburettors and provides ample power for this lightweight little car, certainly enough to bring a smile to your face whenever you plant your right foot.
