The Appeal

For fans of brawny British sports cars, the Triumph TR6 sits at the top of the hierarchy, combining Karmann's muscular styling with the smooth power delivery of a 2.5-litre inline six-cylinder engine. Separate chassis construction ensured immense rigidity, while Lucas fuel injection offered punch performance.

This 1972 example has been comprehensively restored following a period of approximately 20 years in storage. Mileage records indicate the car covered fewer than 100 miles between 1976 and 2019, consistent with its extended time off the road. We're informed that there are 364 photographs documenting this process. The vendor describes it as a very nice example of the TR6, presenting a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-documented, restored example of this much-loved British roadster.

Are you able to see if there is some rust or paint bubbling appearing on pic 81 just below the indicator light cluster near the TR6 decal please?

Well spotted, good news is its not rust, it was a little bit of clear silicone sealer from when the lights were fitted to become watertight to the body. We have cleaned it off now that it has been pointed out.

There is no MOT history on the DVLA site - are you planning to get an MOT as part of the sale?

The car is MOT exempt due to its age. There are old MOTs in the history file.

Pleas can you advise: * Are you the registered keeper on the V5? * When it was restored and what documentation you have relating to this? Thanks

We are not the registered keeper, we are dealing with the sale on behalf of the deceased owner's family, who are now the legal registered keepers of the vehicle. From what we can see from the documentation the restoration was finished in later 2019/2020. There is full photographic documentation relating to this along with invoices.
