The TR6 did well in the sales charts back in the Sixties with many examples being sold in the USA.
It comes from, and represents so well, an era of motoring that had open roads and plenty of customers wanting a fun-time car, preferably with the ability to remove the roof.
That still holds true today with many TR6 enthusiasts enjoying their cars on high days and holidays, when these great classics are at their best.
• Taken apart for restoration by the previous owner over 45 years ago
• In 2003 it was still in a dismantled state in the previous owner’s garage and was bought by the current owner
• A comprehensive restoration of the car and all its components was then started and, once completed, the car has been used regularly by the current owner for touring holidays around Britain and in Europe
• Regularly maintained and always garaged
• Historic vehicle
• V5c present
• Many invoices for work and parts across the years
The interior needed a fair amount of renovation during its renovation back in 2003.
It still looks pretty good with the wood dashboard and instruments all in good condition. The carpets were replaced too, as were the door cards and it all looks in good overall condition still.
The original seats are still present and not in bad shape, but they could certainly benefit from recovering or repair.
There’s not much in a TR6 cabin, but everything you would expect to find is there and works fine, with the mohair hood proving easy to raise and lower, providing a good tight fit and a snug interior.
The bright Cherry Red paint, black hood and MiniLite wheels are a great look for this 60’s roadster.
It sits nice and squarely on the road and overall presents really well, with only a few small areas of the beginnings of some bubbling paint to be found, and some slight damage to the paint work on the offside side of the boot edge and a ding in the bottom of the driver’s door.
Chrome trim is mostly good, with a few pieces showing some pitting from age, but overall there’s little to see that detracts from its overall very nice condition.
• Full engine strip and re-built to run on unleaded petrol
• Full gearbox strip down and re-build
• Renovated brakes and suspension
• New radiator and fuel pump
• Fuel injection
• New clutch master and slave cylinders
• Regularly maintained and serviced
• Electronic ignition fitted
The comprehensive rebuild during 2003 addressed all mechanical areas of the car, steering, suspension, gearbox, engine and of course, brakes.
It has proved a very reliable car over the past twenty years, being used primarily for touring holidays and day trips out, always garaged and regularly maintained by the current enthusiast owner, the TR6 starts and drives very well, making an addictive exhaust sound in the process.
As its use has become less frequent it’s time for another enthusiast to enjoy everything that this TR6 has to offer.
Always a favourite amongst classic British sports car circles this TR6 has plenty of character and road presence and is a nice example ready to enjoy straight away.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
Bid Amount

£0 to £9,999
£100.00
£10,000 to £49,999

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
