1969 TRIUMPH TR6 CC
First registered in 1969, this Triumph TR6 left the Coventry factory on 8th December and was dispatched two weeks later to British Leyland Inc. in San Francisco. After a period in the United States, the car later found its way to Perth, Western Australia, before returning to the UK in 2015.

Presenting well for its age, the car features a solid chassis, sound bodywork, and dependable mechanicals. The robust straight-six engine is fed by twin SU carburettors, and at some point during its life, the steering was professionally converted to right-hand drive.

Both the engine and four-speed manual gearbox (non-overdrive) perform well, and the interior remains in tidy condition.

Accompanying the car are several desirable extras, including a black soft top, torpedo-style door mirrors, high-backed bucket seats, a leather-rimmed steering wheel, stereo player, over-mats, a spare wheel, chrome rocker cover, pancake air filters, and a British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate.

More than £7,000 has recently been invested to ensure the car drives and performs as it should, making this a well-sorted example ready to enjoy.

​​​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.
