Introduced in 1968, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that "Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man's sports car in its own right". The Petrol Injection CR Series offered the UK TR6 buyer 125bhp @ 5000rpm.
Offered here is a 1975 model year one-owner TR6 in Inca Yellow, which displays a credible 47, 617 miles and is a one-owner car. The accompanying original Blue V5 and Passport to Service book reference the owner, Mr Bailey of Burnley and the supplying dealer Ratcliffe & Thornton Bros. Ltd. of Nelson. It is a true garage find that is documented as being first registered on 2nd June 1975, the TR6 wears its last tax disc, dated September 1986 and has a 1985 MOT certificate on file, showing 43, 551 miles. A CR Series model, it is believed to be fitted with the standard overdrive which operates on 3rd and 4th gears on the 1975 model, it rolls on steel wheels and is offered with the soft-top which has sat in situ since 1986. ‘LCK 566N’ is offered with an old V5 document, a Passport to Service, the 1986 MOT certificate and with the door and boot key present, however, the ignition key has been lost in the intervening 36 years.
