The Appeal
Produced between 1969 and 1976, the TR6 would become Triumph’s best-selling vehicle from the TR series, until it was later succeeded by the TR7. Fitted with a fruity straight-six engine, these roadsters are capable of producing around 150bhp, and delivering a sub 9 second 0-60 time. With similar styling to the TR5, save for more squared-off and muscular front and back ends, the TR6 is a truly beautiful car.
Today, tidy examples of these classy roadsters are becoming few and far between. This particular TR6 presents buyers with the opportunity to own a superb, mostly original example.
The History and Paperwork
• Just 63,532 miles covered
• Well maintained and cared for
• Garage stored
• Includes invoices for parts & labour
• Previous MOT certificates
• V5C document present
• Original handbook
This TR6 is a remarkably low mileage example, boasting just 63K on the clock. This mileage figure is believed to be correct and is supported by previous MOT certificates such as the 1988 MOT, which notes just 57,268 miles.
With just 5 former keepers recorded on the V5, the car has enjoyed the last 33 years under the ownership of the current registered keeper. Throughout their ownership, the car has been treasured, clearly reflecting years of care. Now it awaits its next home where it will no doubt continue to be someone’s pride and joy.
In terms of paperwork, the vehicle comes with a fantastic amount of invoices for parts and labour over the years, along with a comprehensive sheet containing a breakdown of new parts and maintenance. Also included are previous MOT certificates which help verify the low mileage, the original Triumph handbook and the V5C document, ready for the new owner.
The Interior
• Superb condition
• New carpets
• Moto-Lita steering wheel
• Wood veneer dash panels
In keeping with the exterior of the vehicle, the cabin of this Triumph is in spectacular condition, with very few signs of wear or age to be found throughout. Hardly noticeable, the driver’s seat shows a minor amount of wear towards the bolster but remains exceptionally comfortable. The passenger seat, on the other hand, appears to have only been used a mere handful of times and shows no noticeable wear.
The Moto-Lita steering wheel, gear knob and dashboard are all in superb condition and have clearly been well preserved over the years. The wood veneer dash panels pair well with the wooden steering wheel and gear knob to contrast beautifully against the sleek black interior.
All interior controls present themselves with minimal wear at the contact points and are believed to be in full working order. As the car was also treated to new carpets and rubber mats, you’ll find the cabin to be a very clean and tidy space.
Overall, you would be incredibly hard-pressed to find fault with the interior condition of this classy roadster.
The Exterior
• Old English White paintwork
• Original finish
• Excellent condition
The Triumph TR6 is one of those classics that simply never looks outdated, and has a fantastic road presence even to this day. The Old English white paintwork does a fantastic job at highlighting the car’s muscular body lines and suits the roadster perfectly.
The paintwork is in superb condition, with only very minor signs of age noticeable around the car. As the car is believed to be in original condition, it is truly remarkable to find original paintwork that has been preserved this well.
All chrome trim pieces, lights, and badging are in a similar condition, helping to set this TR6 far above other examples available today. The car also benefits from a mohair soft top, which not only folds down without fault but is in superb condition with no rips or tears. Although this piece isn’t original, it is a far more versatile and durable option when compared to the standard roof, and is a modification many owners choose to make.

The car currently sits on a set of Cobra TC Superslot wheels, which in keeping with the rest of the vehicle, are also in excellent condition. The wheels are wrapped in a set of Goodyear GT80 tyres, with plenty of tread for the new owner to enjoy. If you’d prefer the standard wheels for originality, worry not as these will be included with the sale!
Overall, this TR6 is an absolutely beautiful example and has no doubt been incredibly well cared for over the years.
The Mechanics

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.
