Introduced in 1968 as a replacement for the outgoing TR250/TR5 models, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that "Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man's sports car in its own right".

A ’home market’ car manufactured on 7th September 1971, chassis CP/54571-O was specified with overdrive, seatbelts and Dunlop Sport tyres. A stalled and incomplete restoration project when acquired by the vendor in late 2019, he has spent over a year bringing the Triumph back to life. Now fitted with a twin carburettor-fed 2.5 litre straight-six engine in place of its original fuel-injected unit, the TR6 is finished in Pimento Red with contrasting Black upholstery and a Black hood. Offered with V5C Registration Document and Heritage Certificate, it is understood that ‘AWW 145K’ will have benefited from further tidying by the time of sale.
