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 a 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 CC/84632-U was manufactured in 1972 and is understood to have been supplied new to the United States of America. Fitted with the 2498cc straight-six engine fed by carburettors, the TR6 has the four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Finished in Red with complementary Black vinyl interior upholstery and a Black hood, the Triumph was repatriated to the United Kingdom (from Texas) in 1988. Subject to a comprehensive restoration shortly after its return to the UK, to a high standard, the restoration included a conversion to right-hand-drive.

Covering a mere 7,000 miles since the completion of the restoration, bringing the total recorded mileage to 74,543 miles, ‘FWW 238L’ has benefitted from further improvement in 2022 which has comprised a carburettor overhaul; conversion back to points with new leads, coil, and battery; refurbished wheels, a new clutch master cylinder, and a full service. Offered for sale with a history file that includes a large collection of previous invoices, a selection of past MOT certificates, sundry paperwork, and current V5C. A recent compression test has shown the Triumph to boast healthy compression, and the TR6 is rated as ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ throughout by the vendor.
