Description
In the mid-1960s, the British marque Triumph rode the wave of the small convertibles, with fairly sporty handling. Thus the TR2 models (already in the 1950s) up to the TR7 (TR for Triumph Roadster) enjoyed a certain degree of success. Throughout the range of this model, notably the TR6, sold from 1969 to 1976, with almost 95, 000 units produced... a sales record for the marque at the time. The Triumph TR6 is an evolution of the TR5, sharing the same chassis and the entire central bodywork (built by Karmann). The engine is a six-cylinder unit developing 124 bhp. It was replaced by the TR7, which would go on to achieve even better sales figures.
NYC’s/ OXOTO here offers for sale this very handsome grey Triumph TR6, with a black leather interior and under 8, 000 miles on the odometer. We have good documentation of the life of this TR6. Delivered new in the USA, it was imported in 1998 by a French owner living in England. Subsequently, this French owner moved to Paris with the car. We have a large amount of paperwork tracing the period he kept the car (maintenance invoices, insurance documents, registration papers, etc.).
In October 2019, this TR6 became Belgian, sold a year later, in September 2020 to its current owner, still Belgian. The latter, after a very substantial amount spent to bring it back to pristine condition, decided to sell due to lack of time to enjoy it. We therefore have a huge number of recent invoices, more than €15, 000!
The bodywork is very, very good; note two fine scratches (right rear wing and right front wing) and a tiny flaw at the bottom of the driver's door, but otherwise it is truly immaculate. No dents or rust, see photos taken on the ramp.
The interior is very nice as well, whether it’s the seats, dashboard, centre console, or carpets, it presents itself exceptionally well.
The soft top is in good condition too. The tonneau cover is in order as well; only two press studs for securing it are missing—really a small detail.
The wood on the dashboard and steering wheel is really gorgeous, pleasant to the touch.
As for the mechanics, it starts on the first turn of the key, what a melody. Given the numerous works completed in recent years (see invoices on our site), one can truly say there is nothing to do.
See photos on our ramp; the underside looks really, really good.
The latest MOT report dates from October 2022 (5, 868 miles) and mentions only two minor points (steering ball joint and possible fluid leak); since then, these have been addressed.
A ramp is available at our premises to show you the underside of the vehicle.
