Lot Ended
Description
1970 Triumph TR6
Rebuilt during the 1990s with
galvanised CDS tubed chassis; uprated overdrive and altered interior for ease of
use and regular commuting by our vendor
This 1970
TR6 not only has its standard soft top with tonneau but also, unusually, is
equipped with an original works steel hard top too. It was subject to a body off
rebuild between 1987 and 1999 (slow and steady work!) by the previous
owner.
During the rebuild, a new galvanised CDS
tubed chassis was constructed, which gives the car more strength and stability
than it ever had. The engine was also worked on during this time and a 4:1:1
ratio final drive unit was fitted. The aim in the 1990s was to prepare it for
hill climbs and a stainless steel exhaust was fitted along with the evident roll
bar. Many of the smaller parts were replaced and of course it was all finished
off with a complete respray.
The rebuild was
completed, although it was sparingly used and for unknown reasons back then, it
was sold to our vendor in 1999. His intention was to use it every day to
commute, which he did indeed do, so some small alterations were made to make it
more comfortable, useable and practical.
The
final drive unit was reverted back to its normal 3:45:1 ratio (although the low
ratio unit is available to the new purchaser), the overdrive was rebuilt by
Moss, a new clutch assembly fitted while the gearbox was out (nothing wrong with
the old one – and is included), the roll bar and harnesses were kept for
increased safety on the roads and the seats and steering wheel were altered to
suit our vendors ‘over 6ft’ frame!
The car was
used on a regular basis up to 2007 for commuting although has been
used slightly less recently so our vendor has been tweaking and altering small
areas to make it more comfortable for the modern road.
Definitely worth
coming to view, the paperwork is impressive and covers everthing
that has been done over the years. DGN
275H comes with a fresh MOT until May 2023 and was driven to us for the
sale.
Included in the sale: Soft top complete
with fixings, lower ratio final drive unit, pair of original seats, pair of
original rear dampers, slightly worn but useable clutch and plate, original
throttle body assemblies, quantity of unused other spares for further detailed
upgrades.
