Description
1972 TRIUMPH TR6
UK RHD 150bhp early CP Chassis number.
2. 5 litre straight six cylinder with overdrive on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
gears.
Finished in the very 1970’s colour of Harley Davidson Orange being an older restoration. £9000 + spent on mechanical renovations since 2014 including the original engine fully rebuilt and balanced with new clutch and rebuilt overdrive unit. New brakes, tyres and much more besides.
Interior is outstanding with original seats (not MX5 seats) recovered with new leather facings and Motolita steering wheel and early Elm dashboard, new carpets and Triumph overmats. Sound smart and functioning hood and frame with full tonneau cover.
Fresh Mot at point of sale and newly recommissioned after a period of storage. Excellent Mot history, full documented record of sympathetic restorative works and just two registered keepers since 2001. 19 Mot test certificates and many expired tax discs. Last Mot with no advisories.
Bought by the last keeper but one from TRGB in 2001 and who lavished huge amounts of time and money on this pampered car. 17000 miles then and just 29000 miles now. Records indicate this was originally restored in the mid 1990’s so may have covered only 29000 miles since that restoration. Only 12000 miles in last 21 years.
This has not been pulled apart and rebuilt from scratch but was a lovely sound and original example that has now had the benefit of much expenditure to bring it right up to date and makes a wonderfully useable un modified and non-molested example. A genuine 150 bhp CP chassis UK registered from new classic. Early 1972 and first registered March 1972.
The engine rebuild allows it to run on unleaded fuel. An Uprated radiator was fitted. In total, there were 94, 619 TR6s built of which 86, 249 were sold overseas and only 8, 370 were sold in the UK.
Currently of the 1969-1972 cars with the higher output 150bhp engine, there are only just over 1000 left registered on the road. These early cars are as quick to 60mph as an E Type and this one has overdrive on 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
Classic car insurance under £100. Road Tax exempt and Mot exempt.
Interesting Px considered example, MGB TVR Corvette, Mercedes SL
