Auctioneer’s Notes:
A very tidy example of an early CP-prefix Triumph TR6, finished in Red over a Tan leather interior with a Black soft top.
This UK-market petrol-injected TR6 has been in the care of the current keeper for the last 32 years, having been acquired as a non-runner before being restored and improved over a number of years.
With its long-term ownership and extensive history file, this is a well-presented example of one of Triumph’s most celebrated six-cylinder sports cars.
Maintenance & Condition:
An older restoration of the chassis and body was carried out circa 1995, with the engine overhauled and the interior retrimmed around 1998.
