Effectively a brand-new Triumph TR6 with everything renewed or replaced as required is not something you come across everyday. One of the best known of the great British sportscars from days gone by, the TR6 creates excitement and new friends everywhere it goes.
Completely restored, with only a few bits left to finish off, this is a great opportunity to own what will certainly be one of the finest examples of the TR6 to be found on the road today.56DQ8RVFK3mcG2rjwSPollDkWmlyQxz2wPvAUgg3.jpeg448.29 KB
The History and Paperwork
First registered in 1974
3 owners until 1985 and two since
Dismantled for restoration in 1990 with less than 90,000 miles on the clock
The restoration was abandoned soon after and all the parts put into long term storage
Restoration restarted again in 2020 with a new owner
Everything stripped and restored
Bare metal body off chassis restoration
Hundreds of new parts
All major components either replaced or totally renovated
Many photos of restoration in progress
Many invoices for parts and works
Fully rebuilt gearbox
Rebuilt and rebalanced engine with re-profiled cams
Early history to verify original mileage and service history
V5c present
2 sets of keys
Purchased in many pieces by the current owner in 2020 the halted complete restoration was re-started and is now almost complete with only a small number of things to finish off. The car starts and runs and requires only the completely new fuel injection system and timing to be finally tuned and set up.
The current owner has run out of time and space to finish the project and is now reluctantly offering someone else the opportunity to finish this 32-year journey to perfection.JXpVcf2uZ3vbRD7Hyay9o1rDZjFDFAKRFDtFHg7p.jpeg284.62 KB
The Interior
Completely re-trimmed interior
Black leather TR6 seats with red piping
Fully re-carpeted
Mohair hood
Tonneau cover (still to be fitted)
Walnut dashboard
All new instruments
Motolita steering wheel
The classic style interior has been completely re-trimmed and boy does it look good. Brand new instruments, steering wheel and walnut dashboard with leather covered seats make this one of the best looking TR6 interiors you’ll likely to ever come across. The only thing missing is a radio to fill the space in the centre console, though the new owner may prefer to just listen to what is bound to be a very compelling and addictive exhaust sound.cn8Euviqq2JzBckoqMPkPnMccQ2U59q3ePR8LwZa.jpeg325.64 KB
The Exterior
Bare metal re-spray in its original colour
Brand new wheels and tyres
Excellent chrome
Fully re-sprayed in its original Red colour the exterior of the car is presented in excellent condition with not a dent or a scratch to be found anywhere. The whole car is in better condition now than when it originally left the Triumph factory with a great paint finish and excellent shut lines and panel gaps.
It sits squarely on the road and looks every inch a fantastic example of the TR6, with only the original rear bumper showing some slight sign of age.
The owner advises, and the photos concur, that the bonnet alignment is not quite perfect yet and needs some further fettling and adjustment on its hinges to get it fitting and closing 100% correctly.
Fuel injection system has been installed with final set-up needed to get the car running smoothly
Hi torque starter motor fitted
Overdrive
Evans waterless coolant and auxiliary fan
The mechanics of the car have all been re-built and everything under the bonnet and under the car is pretty much new or totally refurbished to a very high standard.
The brand-new fuel injection system will need to be fitted and set-up correctly to get the car running to perfection but it’s all there and ready to be fitted.
The only other thing to be done is to wire the fuel sender unit to the fuel gauge to get that working.
The engine will require an oil change after its running in period but other than that there should be very little else to do except to enjoy this fabulous car.
If you fancy an effectively brand new and rust-free Triumph TR6 in a fantastic colour and re-built to an incredibly high standard, then don’t delay and get bidding.
