1973 Triumph TR6

This 1973 Triumph TR6 is a desirable home-market CR chassis car, finished in Sherwood Green with contrasting black interior.

Powered by Triumph’s 2.5-litre straight-six engine, this example has been converted from the original Lucas fuel injection system to twin SU carburettors – a well-proven upgrade that enhances drivability and simplifies maintenance while retaining the character of the six-cylinder motor. Further reliability is provided by a Distributor Doctor electronic ignition system, ensuring crisp starting and dependable performance. Importantly, the car is supplied with its original ignition components, preserving the option for a return to factory specification if desired.

The factory-specified overdrive gearbox gives the TR6 long-legged cruising ability, transforming its touring credentials while keeping the engaging sports car character intact. Inside, the black upholstery and original wooden dashboard present smartly, keeping the classic period atmosphere true to form.

Reassuringly, the car passed its MOT in August with no advisories, underlining the sound condition of both its mechanical and structural elements. For additional peace of mind, it will be supplied freshly serviced, MOT tested, and accompanied by 12 months’ complimentary membership to the TR Register – the leading owners’ club for these cars.

With its combination of a sought-after colour scheme, sensible upgrades, and the inclusion of original parts, this TR6 strikes a fine balance between originality and usability. It is equally suited to regular enjoyment or as a basis for further refinement by the next owner.
