Description
Triumph TR6 road legal championship winning competition car.
A very well known and seriously competitive 180 BHP TR6 sprint and hill climb car. A national TR Register Championship Winner for two years and runner up for one year. We purchased the car as a joint ownership in 2023 following its success by the previous owner. Just two events were entered by us and achieved class wins at both Castle Comb and Goodwood. The class record at Castle Combe and Goodwood is still held by this car. The car has an amazingly powerful torque at low revs which makes it a very practical road going car as well as the seriously competition car. The car was initially re built in 2000 with a major input from Revington TR and at a cost of over £50, 000 ( then !!) The previous owner purchased the car in 2013 with only 2000 miles on the clock since the rebuild and carried out extensive work to modify it for hill climbs and sprints, then maintaining it over his period of ownership. He only sold the vehicle to pursue other sporting interests.. Unfortunately, now due to health issues I am unable to compete so we must now regretfully part with this very exciting car. The performance and achievement of this vehicle is outstanding.
