This Triumph TR6 is a fine example of the popular British roadster, offered from cherished 10-year ownership, having been within one family since 1994. It is powered by a 2.5-litre inline-six with fuel injection, producing up to 112Kw, and driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The odometer currently displays 60,001 miles. However, the seller notes that it stopped working in 2017, and that the car’s estimated mileage is now 62,000 miles, though this is not warranted. This example boasts just four owners, and has been in the same family since 1994. The seller inherited the car while in the UK, and imported it to Australia during emigration in 2013. It has since been maintained by Triumph specialists Graham Rutledge and Dave Clarke, and the seller notes that no expense has been spared in keeping it in fine mechanical health. The seller also notes that the car has been garaged and off the road since 2018 until recently. This TR6 is finished in its original hue of Pimento Red with a black mohair convertible roof, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring wood veneer on the dashboard. It rides on the correct set of 15-inch painted steel wheels with red TR6 centre caps. The factory specification includes a three-spoke steering wheel, Smiths gauges, manually operated windows, a cigarette lighter, lockable glove compartment storage, a period-correct radio, and door card storage pockets. This TR6 now features an electronic ignition system, a Revington TR throttle linkage, a stainless-steel exhaust system, a K&N air filter, and an aluminium fuel tank. The seats are noted to have been taken from a Mk1 Mazda MX-5. The seller also notes that the car has been converted to run on unleaded fuel. The car will be supplied with its British Heritage certificate, a selection of MOT certificates, maintenance and invoices and receipts, and a small selection of spare parts. The seller notes that the car’s original seats are available if required but that they will require a re-foam and a re-trim to bring them back to useable condition. The Pimento Red paintwork is described by the seller as being in generally fair condition, and is noted as having been repainted. The seller states that there is some paint flaking in certain areas. The windscreen seal is also perished and cracking, the nearside front indicator lens is cracked, and the black mohair soft-top roof presents in poor condition with fraying around the rear windows, all three of which are coming away from the main roof material. Inside, the cabin presents well. The replacement seats present with general creasing and wear on the driver’s bolster, but are otherwise in reasonable condition. The remainder of the original interior is in fair order, and the carpets were replaced in 2012. The original switchgear shows wear and signs of use, which generally presents as an attractive ‘patina’, which is in line with the vehicle’s age. The seller notes that the radio is not wired for use and that the antenna is broken. The seller is not aware of any other electrical or mechanical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. The car’s last inspection of roadworthiness was conducted on 23 September 2022, during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. This TR6’s latest service was carried out during November 2020 by Triumph specialist and TR6 race car driver Graham Rutledge. The work comprised of a full service with an engine oil and filter change, along with a bleed and setup of the brakes, some work to the car’s fuel injection system, a tune-up, a setting of the timing, and a road test. The seller notes that the oil and filter have been changed every year regardless of mileage. The seller also states that during their ownership the electronic ignition system was fitted, a full engine top-end reconditioning including preparation for the use of unleaded fuel was performed, the fuel injection system was reconditioned, a new fuel tank was fitted, the radiator was reconditioned, the sills and floor pans were replaced, and new carpets were fitted. This Triumph TR6 is a well-maintained example of the characterful classic British roadster, which has been fitted with some well-considered upgrades to enhance its reliability. Presented in good overall condition and benefitting from a previous top-end rebuild, this TR6 is reported to be ready to be enjoyed immediately, and will no doubt make an ideal car for ‘wind-in-the hair’ motoring during the sunny summer months.
