Highlights

Extensive mechanical health check performed in March
Excellent and unique specification TR6
Very presentable car

The Appeal

The Triumph TR6 is nothing if not an emblematic British sports car. Great styling and handling to keep up with all of its competitors, it is a popular model for Sunday drives.

This model has not been on many cruises in recent times having spent several years locked away in storage. Emerging from its hiding place in March, it has been through a thorough mechanical check up including the replacement of several parts. As a result, it passed its MOT that same month with flying colours and is surely ready to provide smiles for miles to come.

Presenting in a dark shade of green, it is a great looking car. With a remastered in interior including tailored green carpets and the seats from a Mazda MX5, its next owners are sure to enjoy driving it.
