The Appeal
The Triumph TR6 is one of the most distinctive British sports cars of its era, combining muscular styling with a torquey straight-six engine. These hard-lined, attractive roadsters were instantly recognisable against their contemporaries, and still make for a very eyecatching car today. That potent performance, simple nature and refreshingly unrefined character all come together to make for a fiercely charismatic classic.
This 1970 example has benefited from significant mechanical upgrades including electronic fuel injection and a comprehensive rewiring, making it more reliable than a standard TR6 without sacrificing an ounce of its analogue, no-nonsense persona. Having undergone a full body-off restoration before the current owner's purchase in 2019, this TR6 is thoroughly well-sorted and ready to go.
