Triumph TR6 Fully restored and revised, top quality example! 1977
General description :
Not all Triumph TR6’s are equal as this one clearly proofs. What a car! This Triumph was supplied by the American, Los Angeles based British Leyland Motors INC in 1973. In 2017 the TR6 arrived on Dutch shores. The trip across the Atlantic was just the start of this TR6’s adventure. The TR 6 had already been very well and thoroughly restored in the States. Unfortunately the American documentation has not survived but on inspection it would appear that the restoration was finished just before being shipped. The car had a full “body-off” restoration with both bodywork and chassis still in very good shape. The bodywork is pristine with nice and thin, correctly aligned panelwork. The chassis is prefect with the new suspension parts in prime sight, a subject we will come back to later on. The lovely “France Blue” finish is an eye-catcher. This colour is a perfect fit for the car and was properly applied during the restoration. The overall condition of the paintwork is very good other than a few very light signs of use. The linen hood is also is good shape and shuts securely. The hood’s navy blue contrasts the lighter blue paintwork perfectly. A matching tonneau cover completes the picture. The interior is as lovely as the outside. The interior trim has blue carpets and black leather seats. The door cards are covered in blue vinyl, matching the carpets. The seat leather is good and undamaged. The dashboard has perfectly working Smith instruments and a new odometer measuring in kilometres. The old mile odometer was changed to the new one on the 15th July 2018 at 84,048 miles. The change has been extensively documented. We now turn our attention to the car’s mechanics virtues. Over the last three years this TR6 was mechanically completely rebuilt. The old engine was not up to scratch and to far gone to be repaired. A replacement block was sourced together with the help of specialists. Following this the engine was totally rebuilt. The build was recorded with a series of photos invoices of over € 20,000.-, and e-mail correspondence. Everything points to the fact that this rebuild was a thoroughly well though out effort. The engine has been fitted with 3 Weber 40 DCOE 151 carburettors, a different camshaft and a 1-2-3 ignition. This all led to an excellent result with the tuned car hitting 148,5 Hp at 4,778 revs on the rolling road. You can just as well tour sedately with this car developing 250 Nm of torque at 3,000 revs. Not only is the engine responsible for this TR6’s fantastic driving experience. The rest of the mechanics were also meticulously overhauled. Large parts of the suspension and brakes were replaced as well many of the engine mounts being new or overhauled. Finally a number of other items have been added as a crowning glory. There is a stainless steel luggage rack, a stainless steel sports exhaust, oil cooler, mass switch an electric cooling fan. To top it all the car stands on four brand new tyres. We think it must be quite clear to all; This is a top quality Triumph TR6!

About Triumph
Triumph, a name synonymous with classic sports cars and innovative designs, has a rich and storied history in the automotive world.The Triumph story began in the late 19th century when the company originally produced bicycles and then expanded into motorcycles. However, it was in the 1920s that Triumph ventured into the production of automobiles. Over the years, Triumph became renowned for its high-quality vehicles that combined performance with style.
One of Triumph's most iconic models was the TR3, introduced in the late 1950s. It was a classic British sports car, loved for its simple yet elegant design and thrilling driving experience. The TR3 was a symbol of affordable sports car enjoyment, and it set the stage for a series of successful TR models, including the TR4, TR5, and TR6.
In addition to sports cars, Triumph made a name for itself with Michelotti-designed sedans. The Triumph Herald, introduced in the early 1960s, was a compact family car that boasted stylish design and solid engineering. Later on, the Triumph 2000 and 2500 sedans catered to a more upscale market and earned a reputation for their comfortable rides and elegant looks.
However, despite its successes, Triumph faced numerous challenges over the years, including financial difficulties and ownership changes. In the 1980s, British Leyland, the company that owned Triumph, underwent significant restructuring, and the Triumph brand was gradually phased out.
The demise of Triumph was indeed sad and, to some extent, disgraceful. The company that had produced beloved sports cars and well-regarded sedans was slowly fading away. In 1984, the last Triumph-badged car rolled off the production line, marking the end of an era.
Although the Triumph name disappeared, its legacy lives on. Enthusiasts and collectors continue to cherish classic Triumph sports cars like the TR3, TR6, and Spitfire, as well as the unique charm of Triumph sedans. Triumph remains a symbol of British automotive heritage and the enduring appeal of classic sports cars.
In conclusion, Triumph's history is a blend of classic sports car excellence and innovative sedan design. Its sad and disgraceful demise serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many automakers over the years, but the spirit of Triumph lives on in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
