The Appeal
Perhaps one of the all-time greats of retro motoring, the TR6 is a much-cherished benchmark in automotive design. Excellent build quality, spot-on pricing and just plain fun, there’s a reason they were such huge hits on the export market, and still highly desirable today.
With its period spec still intact, this bright red example is superbly presented from top to tyres, with an extensive paperwork file - creating a superb prospect for even the most experienced driver.
