Originally registered on 21st August 1972, JTU 758L has aged gracefully, with just 81,455 miles on the odometer after 51 years. It boasts a sturdy chassis, a well-maintained body, and dependable mechanics that has made several trips to Le Mans in recent years.

This 1972 Triumph TR6 CP 150BHP is a UK car is finished in Pimento red exterior with a black convertible top, and a comfortable original black interior, complemented by a wooden dashboard and matching steering wheel and gearstick knob. This classic also features the desirable 150HP engine, overdrive functionality, along with steel wheels. A new stainless steel exhaust system has just been installed as part of a fresh recommissioning and service that we have just carried out. A new black Mohair cover can be purchased along with the car for an additional £700.

Included documents within JTU 758L history file are the V5C, past V5 copies, a TR Registry certificate of registration, historical tax discs, and invoices dating back to the late 1980s, including one from July 2022 for a new fuel pump.
It also comes with MOT certificates, starting from May 1988 when the mileage was 62,458 miles.

The bodywork is strong, solid, and in good all-round condition, the only criticism of paintwork would be the expected imperfections commensurate with a 50-year-old original car and is priced accordingly.
The car does present nicely and having been well maintained over the years does drive nicely. 

A video walk-around of the car can be arranged to present the overall condition and performance.

 

This is a great opportunity to purchase a 1972 UK-market original Triumph TR6 CP that presents nicely, has been maintained well.

 

​Service carried out in October 2024 including :Castrol Classic XL 20W 50 engine oil, Air Filters, Oil Filter and Spark Plugs.

Why Choose The Forge?
Family Values, Transparent Pricing, and a Genuine Passion for Classic Cars!

 

At The Forge, we’re more than just a classic car dealership—we’re a family-run business with a genuine love for classic cars. Our mission is simple: treat our customers as we’d want to be treated—with honesty, respect, and transparency.

 

Our pricing is competitive and fair, grounded in Hagerty’s trusted Classic Car Price Guide, saving you money compared to traditional dealerships. We believe in straightforward, no-haggle pricing, so you can enjoy a clear, no-surprises experience without the stress of auctions or private sales.

 

When you buy from The Forge, you’re not just purchasing a classic car—you’re joining our extended family.

 

Each car we offer is carefully handpicked, often sourced from fellow enthusiasts who share our values. Before any vehicle reaches our showroom, it undergoes an independent inspection, an MOT if needed, and professional detailing, ensuring it’s in prime condition and ready for its next journey.

 

We fully own every car in our collection. This structure guarantees the integrity of every transaction and demonstrates our commitment to quality.

 

Although original manufacturer warranties aren’t possible due to these cars’ age, we take immense pride in presenting each car in excellent condition, free from known faults upon delivery. We inspect each vehicle thoroughly, document any repairs, and include invoices for parts and labor in the car’s history file. If a service is warranted by mileage or time, we’ll at minimum perform an oil and filter change with OE/OEM parts, which is also noted in the car’s records.

 

Upon collection or delivery, we record the mileage and provide a 3-month/500-mile warranty (whichever comes first). Should any issues arise beyond standard wear-and-tear, given the car’s age, please reach out to us directly—we’ll do our utmost to assist.

 

Classic cars are timeless machines with intricate components that may occasionally need attention. Embracing a classic means accepting these quirks and savoring the open-road journeys that make them feel as exhilarating today as they did decades ago—whether that’s 20, 30, or even 40+ years in the making.

History Of The 1969 - 1976 Triumph TR6:

The 1969 Triumph TR6 looked like a new car upon its introduction, but it was in fact a very clever Karmann facelift of the Triumph TR5. While the convertible’s mechanicals remained consistent, the front and rear panelwork were re-shaped into a more modern style, including the TR6’s infamous 'grinning' radiator grille.

​

The TR6’s doors and windscreen were still taken straight from the TR4, as were the underpinnings. Wider wheels were fitted, and steel were standard, with stylish chrome trim rings to maintain the exclusive look. Inside, the Triumph’s seats were given a little extra padding, but under the bonnet things continued as with the TR5 and TR250, with fuel injection and 150 bhp for most of the world and 104 bhp with carburettors for the USA.

​

The TR6 remained unchanged until 1976, when the TR7 was ushered in to replace it, but the relationship between the two cars was limited to the TR name only—there were no carry-over parts.
