The Appeal
With its robust engine and sharp styling, the TR6 may have been a late addition to the roadster scene - but what an addition it was. Arguably the finest of TR's line up, over 90% of these cars ended up in the USA, where they fit like a glove amongst its stateside contemporaries and quickly became a highly beloved sports car.
This example arrived in the UK in 1990, and was converted to right-hand drive by the Northern TR Centre. Since then, it's been very well cared for, and underwent a full rebuild in 2021 - and having covered only 2,608 miles since. It's still a remarkably fresh-looking, mechanically sound car that's ready and waiting to offer that legendary Triumph character for the lucky new owner.
