1970 Triumph TR6 SOLD

Where do we start with this one !
First registered to Bristol County Council on 6th August 1970 YHT 12J is 1 of just 8730 home market TR6’s.
According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example – chassis CP52090-0 – was built on the 25th June 1970 complete with a heater, overdrive on 3rd and 4th, fuel – injected 150bhp engine and left dip headlamps.
Reportedly treated to a very extensive ‘ground up’ restoration a few years ago, the virtually unmarked stunning black paintwork presents very well with a lovely deep shine and is complemented by its red upholstery and black mohair soft top. You would be forgiven to think this car was restored only a couple of years ago! Sitting on 15” chrome wires with knock offs this TR6 looks superb.
The TR6 runs and drives superb as you would expect, the engine ticks over lovely and sounds superb through its stainless steel exhaust.
We have a handful of various invoices and past MOT certificates to accompany the TR6 along with its Heritage certificate.
Launched in January 1969, the TR6 featured a very clever reworking of the TR4/ 5 bodyshell which had been in production since 1961. By combining a recessed rear panel (similar to that found on the Michelotti-penned Triumph 2000 and 1300 saloon models) with a new full-width, headlamp-embracing radiator grille, coachbuilders Karmann gave the TR6 a look that was bang up to date (but which cost Triumph very little). Utilising the same 2498cc fuel-injected straight-six engine which had debuted in the TR5 some fifteen months earlier, UK and European specification cars boasted some 150bhp and spirited 120mph performance. Although, peak power fell to 125bhp with the adoption of a 'milder' camshaft in 1973, contemporary road testers found that outright speed was only slightly affected. Very much a traditional British sports car, the TR6 was characterized by decent acceleration, potent brakes and a firm ride (while, the presence of all-round independent suspension was a welcome bonus). However, the model was virtually unique in providing these qualities on the UK market at the time save for the more specialised Morgan and more expensive Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce. Produced until 1975 it was the last of the traditional TRs, the replacement TR7 being a very different breed of car.
