Description
1972 Triumph TR6 (Registered 1975) – Mimosa Yellow
We are delighted to present this well-prepared Triumph TR6, finished in vibrant Mimosa Yellow with contrasting black trim— a colour that suits the sharp lines of the TR6 beautifully. A CP-series example, this car is one of the desirable higher-output 150bhp models produced for the European market. The car was manufactured on 18 June 1972 and supplied to Triumph dealer Lambs Limited of Woodford Green, London, though it was not registered with the DVLA until 11th August 1975.
Clarification from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust explains the apparent gap between the build date and its first UK registration. The car carries the registration AWK 649L, a Coventry H. D. E. S. (Home Delivery Export Service) prefix issued to vehicles supplied under the Personal Export Delivery (P. E. D.) scheme. This system allowed overseas buyers to take delivery in the UK and drive the car for a limited period before export. As such, the car received its ‘L’ suffix registration in 1972 when new, before later being re-registered in 1975 for permanent UK road use.
The British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate also confirms the original factory specification as Damson exterior paintwork with black interior and hood, along with overdrive, wire wheels, seatbelts and Dunlop SP tyres.
This car has recently been cared for by T. R. Bitz of Appleton, one of the most respected names in the Triumph community. Their preparation for sale last year included a comprehensive service and extensive mechanical work: a new alloy fuel tank, Bosch fuel pump, six injectors, polybushed rear suspension arms, new brake and clutch master cylinders, new front calipers, fresh brake flexi hoses, four new tyres, and a new carpet set. Their assessment concluded that the body and chassis are in excellent condition and that it “drives like a good TR6 should, with no rattles.”
The most recent owner adds further detail, noting that the suspension and steering have been rebuilt, the rear end polybushed, and a new clutch fitted. The fuel system has been renewed throughout, including the metering unit, injectors and filters, while the braking system has been overhauled with new calipers, servo and hoses. The car also features a mohair hood and cover, a full premium leather seat rebuild completed only a few months ago, and benefits from an earlier body-off restoration that has clearly stood the test of time. Under the bonnet, a range of alloy and stainless-steel components enhance both durability and presentation.
The accompanying documentation is impressive, with a file of invoices spanning many years, previous sales listings, the original owner’s handbook, and an April 2025 invoice for £1, 400 covering the interior re-trim.
Overall, this is a wonderfully sorted and highly presentable example of the sought-after CP-series TR6. With its striking Mimosa Yellow paintwork, refreshed interior and strong mechanical condition, it represents a complete package—ready to be enjoyed and admired wherever it goes.
