The Appeal

The TR6 is widely regarded as the last of the traditional British sports cars, and the earlier CP-series cars with their Lucas fuel injection producing 150 bhp are particularly sought after by enthusiasts. This 1972 car is an original UK-supplied example finished in its original Signal Red, a colour that suits the TR6's muscular lines beautifully.

This particular car has benefited from a significant restoration carried out in 1990/1991, including a full engine rebuild and a leather seat re-trim, with all invoices retained in the history file. Since the restoration, the car has covered only around 14,500 miles and has been in the same family's hands since 1994, more than 32 years of careful custodianship.

The accompanying history file is thorough, spanning over 45 years and containing invoices, historic MOTs, handbooks, and owner's manuals. Fitted with five period wire wheels and carrying a "TR" registration number, this well-documented TR6 is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is "Sold As Seen", on an "As Is Where Is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, so we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, so it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
