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".
Manufactured new in 1971 and supplied new to the first owner in the United States of America, the TR6 offered was retained in first ownership in California for the next nineteen years. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Signal Red with Black interior upholstery, the TR6 was acquired by the vendor directly from the first owner while a resident of California. Shortly returning to England with the Triumph before traveling back to Michigan and subsequently, New York, the TR6 followed his travels and was subject to a body-off respray during this time. Finally repatriating to Britain for the final time in 2004, the TR6 has seen minimal use and is now offered having covered just 51,000 miles from new at the time of consignment, the Triumph is offered with a brand new vinyl hood ready for fitment. Supplied with a history file that contains the original passport to service, documents and a number plate from the TR6s time in America, sundry paperwork, and a current V5C document, ‘TNB 94J’ is a scarce low mileage, two owner example.
