So what's a TR6P ‘Saint’? Originally, it was essentially a 6T Thunderbird with more power, but the specification changed gradually over the years and the 1970s versions were a slightly cooled TR6 Trophy. Different forces and branches wanted different things, so its difficult to be specific about the ‘Saint's’ general specifications. It usually has a 7.5-to-1 compression ratio (as compared with 9-to-1 on the Trophy) and an alternator specially modified to produce a high output at lowish rpm, to take care of electrical extras.

This Triumph TR6P, colloquially referred to as the ‘Saint’, is 1 of 2 issued to the Metropolitan Police Special Escort Group. First registered with the DVLA in 1976, it appears to be an earlier January, 1972 machine. The 2 machines were un-faired and only used on standard patrol units. Originally, it came with a very low gearbox 1st/ 2nd/ 3rd for very slow riding, but since its restoration some years ago it has been converted back to a standard box. It is believed that the other machine resides in the Catford police vehicle museum. Light recommissioning will be required before use. Offered with a V5C.
