Produced in England by the Triumph Motor Company from 1969-1976, the TR6 featured styling by Karmann and was the final iteration of the Triumph TR-series. This 1974 example has been refinished in Carmine Red over a Black vinyl interior and is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six engine with dual Weber downdraft carburetors mated to a 4-speed manual transmission.This TR6 benefits from a multi-year restoration effort including the replacement of electrical system components, new carburetors, and much more. This Triumph convertible is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Massachusetts.
The TR6 utilizes traditional body-on-frame construction with bodywork penned by Karmann of Germany. This example was reportedly refinished in Carmine Red (82) in 2019 as well as receiving a new black vinyl retractable convertible top, new HELLA auxiliary lights, chrome bumpers, a new antenna, a new windshield and associated moldings, new ‘bullet-style’ side mirrors, and new door rubber. It rides on 15” steel wheels wrapped in Uniroyal Tiger Paw redline tires. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin has been reupholstered in Black vinyl with new carpets, matching door panels, and burled walnut trim including the three-spoke steering wheel, the dashboard overlay, and the shift knob. Equipment includes manual crank windows and lap belts, with additional interior updates including an aftermarket retro-look Bluetooth capable push-button radio with front and rear speakers, ambient lighting, a dashboard-mounted USB port, a new light switch, ignition switch, hazard switch, and control buttons. The seller notes that the tachometer is not currently functioning.
Powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six engine with dual Weber downdraft carburetors, the TR6 sends power to the rear wheel by way of a 4-speed manual transmission. Standard equipment includes four-wheel independent suspension, rack and pinion steering, and stopping power is aided by front disc brakes. The seller reports new items to include the Weber downdraft carburetors, the rocker cover, an aluminum shroud, a fuse box with modern fuses, an electronic ignition, air horns, and a windshield washer tank and pump. Additional recent work is said to include an oil change, new spark plugs, spark plug wires, coils, a new alternator, new hoses, a new heater control, clutch& slave cylinder, along with a new muffler and flywheel gear ring.
This sale will include spare parts, decals, under hood padding, and a clean title.

Thank you all for watching the auction. I appreciate your time..
@TheVintageCarGuy for the record my ‘76 TR6 does the exact same thing on both the driver and passenger door.
Bid in the amount of $4,000
Rarely do the doors fit like one would hope for UNLESS they've been attended to by a proper restoration shop that knows the cars. Many came off the line mis-aligned.

@TheVintageCarGuy Don't have a specific answer to that, I never bothered with it as it is a British Leyland car from the 70's. I can take it in to my body shop people and have them look at aligning it and may well do that since you mentioned it. Thanks for the question..
@Silverstone Can you speak to the poor alignment of the passengers door? Specifically, why is the bottom sticking so far out when the door is shut?
@dalek Thanks for the question. When I started he project, I decided not to rebuild anything as the car runs and drives perfectly. The clutch and salve were replaced and is like new, the gearbox is smooth and all the sycncros are good. I did a compression test and the results were 150 or within 5% on all; did not do a leak down. The engine has lots of power and great oil pressure and does not smoke or burn oil at all. I suspect the engine (only) was rebuilt before I bought the car. I changed out the speedometer because i broke the trip reset during deconstruction. That odometer has 4,000 or so miles on it and this one only has about 100 miles more since I started driving it. Car is available for inspection or I will take it to a mechanic of your choosing (within a reasonable distance).
Thank you again (was going to sign off Dr. Who.. LOL)
Hello nice images and details.
Do you have any information on the engine, transmission, or rear-end having been rebuilt
