About this car

This 1970 Triumph TR6 is a 2.5-litre straight-six roadster finished in Old English White. It was returned to the UK in 2007 and restored with the body lifted off the chassis. The history file holds photographs of the work and numerous invoices.

Several changes were made along the way. The car left the factory without overdrive but now has the later, stronger J-type unit. The Stromberg carburettors have given way to SUs, which are generally regarded as more reliable. Other fitments include a stainless sports exhaust, chrome wire wheels, electronic ignition, K&N air filters and a telescopic rear shock conversion.

Inside are leather seats, a walnut dash with matching cappings and a wood-rim steering wheel. The maroon mohair hood comes with a hood cover and tonneau. The dealer quotes 8,340 miles since the restoration, supported by MOT history, and the MOT runs to November 2027. There have been five previous owners.
