1973 Triumph TR6
Strong points
- Rare and very pleasant delivery in French blue
- Imported from the USA with European import documents
- All taxes and duties paid
- Solid bodywork with visible repairs
- Original North Carolina US registration document with Salvage Rebuilt status
The Plus
The TR6 is perhaps one of the last great British sports cars. Although the styling was surprisingly close to Mercedes-Benz (most likely due to Karmann's involvement in the design), the convertible sports car remained a purely "British-British" work - and with its 2.5L engine and distinct performance, this was a fitting farewell to that traditional Triumph format.
Although the car has been driven sparingly in recent years, it remains an excellent prospect with a solid base. This beautiful car is in good condition overall, with a few minor faults and visible repairs, and the mechanicals will require an overhaul before taking to the road again - but once that's done, you'll have a simply superb classic in your hands.
