Today the car has covered just over 3, 000 miles since the restoration (total now 73k) and simply looks/ sounds superb. On the road the car is arguably the best performing TR6 we have ever brought to market and is a real delight to drive.
Nearly 94, 000 TR6’s were produced but only 8, 370 were home market cars, making our car a rare survivor. The price of TR6’s has risen steadily over the past 3 years and an example of this quality will provide not only an entertaining drive but also an excellent investment to the lucky new owner
