1975 | Triumph TR 6

This incredibly correct Triumph TR6 is a UK Home Market, RHD example that is a matching numbers cars, still in its original colours of Triumph White with Black vinyl upholstery. GOW 612N comes with an exceptional history and spent 42 years with one owner in South Wales. The comprehensive file retains the sales invoice from 1979 to its long term owner, supplied by Caterham Cars Sales in Surrey. In 2021 the TR6 came into the hands of the owner of a design lead tailoring business with studios in Shoreditch, London and North Laine, Brighton and having had a couple of years of enjoyable motoring, the TR6 has been fully serviced, MOT tested and fitted with a new set of tyres before being collected by us down in Sussex.

This is essentially a largely original car that has been kept in regular use its entire life, but maintained and kept up too with no expense spared. Never deteriorating to the point where it has required full rebuild, it has just been kept on top of in strong mechanical condition, and impressive cosmetic its entire life. A huge file of invoices are on file but the headlines for expenditure were 10,000 miles back in 2003 when the TR6 was taken to a classic car specialists for a light body refurbishment that included removal of the wings, and the rolling shell then being prepared for a full re-paint, and more recently in 2013 2000 miles ago, an engine rebuild to include new pistons, main and big end bearings, thrust bearings, cam followers, unleaded head conversion, timing chain, rebore, crankshaft re-grind and gearbox rebuild. Invoices are also on file within the past few thousand miles for brake calipers, discs and pads, metering unit, clutch, water pump, starter motor and ring gear. Recently the TR6 has also had a new fuel pump, new poly trailing arm bushes in 2021 and prior to arriving with us had new tyres, new top ball joints, swivel joints, new metering unit vacuum hose, a full service and MOT.




The TR6 has arrived with us in excellent mechanical condition, the engine just a couple of thousand miles on since rebuild is excellent holding impressive oil pressure and offers exceptional performance. The rebuilt gearbox is smooth with nice changes, the overdrive kicks is smoothly and the TR6 handles incredibly well. Having being MOT consistently each year the car has been properly maintained and checked over to ensure roadworthiness, reliability and the optimum TR6 performance. GOW 612N presents beautifully with a gleaming paint finish, lovely straight panels, excellent chrome work and a clean, well presented engine bay and boot compartment. The hood is excellent, the interior very well presented with correct seats and door cards, clean carpets, dashboard and instruments. The underside presents very well with a clean, straight chassis and floor pans, the car is structurally excellent and the bodywork impressive throughout. This is a fabulous, usable TR6 that requires no expenditure in order to be driven and enjoyed, its ideal for touring, classic events and shows, but of course a huge selling point for this car is its long term ownership, consistent maintenance throughout it life and the facts its been preserved as a very correct, high quality largely original example.
