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".

Finished in Burgandy with a Black vinyl trim, 'VRW 94H' has been in current family ownership since 2004 and displays a credible 85,798 miles. Believed to have resided in the Netherlands for a period before 2004, the TR is an original UK supplied right-hand drive example with overdrive and rides on chrome wire wheels with the original wheels being available. The TR6 was subject to a major service, replacement brake master cylinder and a cylinder-head overhaul in 2019, at the cost of £1,278.18. Offered with a collection of old MOTs and invoices from marque specialists and a current V5C document.
