1974 Triumph TR6
U.S. origin example in very
presentable condition; lots to like about this TR6 which is well worth close
inspection
Believed to date from January 1974 this
LHD U.S. spec TR6 features the proven 2.5 litre straight-six engine and, as a
U.S. car comes with carbs rather than fuel injection.
Finished in green
with an eye-catching white central stripe and attractive 15-inch centre knock
wire wheels, the car looks like it’s ready to embark on an epic European road
rally adventure just standing still. Underneath looks to have been fully
protected in stone-chip/corrosion protective material which should give good
protection against the salted roads and poor weather.
Starting promptly
as we moved it around for these shots, the paint work is good, the
brightwork shiny and the black vinyl interior in fine fettle showing just 56,902
miles. We note a modern Sony face-off radio CD player has been
fitted.
The history file includes only a copy of the V5C (V5C enroute to
us) showing just 1 owner since import and registration in September 2019.
Obviously, MOT exempt, the car has not been presented for an MOT in the UK since
arrival. In the boot, we find a mallet for undoing the centre knock wheels and
useful tonneau cover.
Under the ‘hood’ we find a neat and tidy engine bay
with the addition of steel braided hoses replacing most of the standard rubber
piping, fitment of a pair of modern conical air filters and uprated yellow HT
leads.
Evidently the subject of much care, the car looks to want
for nothing but regular use and a new owner.
The vendor has since
provided the following information:
"Purchased
through a friend in New Mexico who searched it out to order as an unrestored ,
rust free , excellent example of an appreciating classic. New Mexico is one of
the driest states in USA so it has seen very little rain in its life. It was
imported to the UK, registered
and then taken to Portugal where the owners had become citizens, as their
dream car. Unfortunately , new Brexit rules meant importing to Portugal became
economically unviable and it is therefore being very reluctantly
sold"
