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".

Chassis number CR/6598-O is a desirable home-market example (1 of just 8,370) and was built on the 31^st of October 1974, being despatched to dealership Rossleigh Limited in Perth, Scotland for supply to its first owner. Finished from the factory in the colour combination of Pimento Red paintwork with Black interior upholstery and a Black Soft-top, ‘HTS 262N’ pleasingly still presents in this colour scheme and was well-specified from new with overdrive, static seatbelts and Michelin tyres. Subject to a recent restoration to a high standard, the TR6 presents excellently and both started and ran well during our photography session. Showing a recorded mileage of just 43,000 miles and with five former keepers showing on the logbook, the TR6 is offered with a history file that includes the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a selection of previous MOT certificates dating back to 1978 (at 28,875 miles), numerous invoices dating back to the 1980s, a modern workshop manual, and a current V5C document. Offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until September 2024.
