The Appeal
The Triumph TR6 is a well-loved and a popular classic to own. They are becoming harder to find in a favourable and affordable condition so many people turn to cars that have lived in sunnier and drier climates.
This car spent most of its life in the USA until 1993 when it was brought into the UK and promptly converted to having the steering put on the proper side. At the same time, it was restored and it still looks good today. Plenty of time has been spent on the mechanicals too. The engine and gearbox have both received some attention. This is a well-appointed and well-maintained car which deserves a serious look.

The History and Paperwork
- Professional Conversion and Restoration 1993/4
- Extensive File of Invoices
- Historic MOT Certificates on File
- Waxoyl Certificate
- Current MOT to March 23
- Current V5
Professionally converted and restored once imported. Supplied in the restored condition by TR Bitz of Cheshire to the current owner in 2013. The new owner has been diligent in ensuring the car is well maintained and there are plenty of invoices to show it returned to TR Bitz many times for maintenance and restorative mechanical work.
There has been at least £6000 spent in recent years on a bottom-end engine build, which included a balanced crank, clutch and flywheel and a reconditioned gearbox with overdrive.

The Interior
- Clean Interior
- Unmarked black vinyl seats
- Excellent replacement burred dashboard
- Original Door Cards
There is no doubt that the carpeting was replaced during the restoration as it is in very good condition without any discernible wear and tear. The seats are also in very good condition and are finished in glossy black vinyl. The dashboard is of course a replacement and fitted as part of the conversion to right-hand drive. It is finished in unmarked burred laminate and shows no cracks or flaking in the lacquer.
All the instruments are in the correct places and all work as they should according to the owner. A period Motorola adds a nice finishing touch. The odometer may have been replaced at some time, possibly at restoration as the mileage reads a mere 15,000 and is confirmed by the UK MOT certificates. Overall, the interior is in great condition and is commensurate with the low mileage since the import.

The Exterior
- Finished in Triumph Royal Blue
- Good Quality Paintwork
- Minilite Style Alloys
- Fully Functioning Hood with Tonneau
- Cockpit Tonneau also with the car
- Full Car Cover is also available
The Mechanics
- Bottom-end engine rebuild
- Lightened and balanced Crankshaft
- Refurbished Twin Carburettors
- Tubular Sports Exhaust Manifold
- Reconditioned gearbox with overdrive
A TR6 is known for its lusty straight six engine, and this one seems in fine fettle. There are plenty of invoices showing the amount of work undertaken to the engine including the bottom-end rebuild and work on the crank. A pair of rebuilt carbs and sports exhaust manifold all help to extract a little more horsepower.
The car benefits from a reconditioned gearbox with overdrive. Brakes and suspension remain standard. The engine bay is particularly original and would appear to be sporting original paint on the inner wings.

Summary
The delightful Triumph TR6 represents everything great about open-top motoring and this one is sure to impress. Having been restored nearly 30 years ago, this car still looks fantastic in the shiny royal blue paint scheme. Any owner will take great comfort in knowing that it has been well maintained while in the current owner’s hands and the voluminous file that contains the invoices show the financial obligation in keeping it in good condition.
The interior is in lovely condition throughout and although some way off show condition, it has not been abused in the 28 years since restoration and is a very pleasant place to be. Our owner can pass on a few bits and pieces too.
The car is still wearing the American-style front indicators as the side lights are in the headlamps, but there’s a pair of sparkly UK indicator and side light lenses that come with the car as well as a chromed grill surround. Don’t forget that you get a full car cover too as well as a cockpit tonneau cover. There’s simply no reason why you shouldn’t consider this car, but be quick, I don’t think you’ll be the only one interested.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
