The seller offers for sale this Triumph TR6 Cabriolet from 1976, presented in a refined combination of black exterior and red leather upholstery. The car spent about thirteen years stored in a workshop during a family dispute before being revived by its previous owner, a certified mechanic and classic car specialist. During this recommissioning, the TR6 received a new gearbox, carburettor, full exhaust system, shock absorbers, control arms, battery, and fluid service. Since then, it has been carefully maintained and has recently passed its technical inspection without any defects, valid until April 2027. The engine starts easily, runs smoothly with no smoke or strange noises, and the gearbox shifts precisely.
The TR6’s interior presents well, featuring firm red leather seats and a genuine wooden dashboard where instruments function correctly. A black mohair soft-top offers reliable protection from rain and is complemented by a matching tonneau cover. The body shows typical light use marks but retains its authentic charm. Finished in factory black (paint code 9/-), the car embodies the character of a well-cared-for British roadster that combines elegance with driving pleasure.
The Triumph TR6, introduced in 1968, was the final and most powerful of Triumph’s traditional roadsters. It blended classic British style with a robust inline-six engine, earning admiration for its torque-rich performance and mechanical simplicity. Its crisp Michelotti-inspired lines, low stance, and open-top driving experience have made it a timeless favourite among enthusiasts. The TR6 offers engaging handling, a distinctive exhaust note, and a genuine analogue driving feel that captures the essence of 1970s motoring—making it a sought-after classic in today’s collector market.
