The vendor purchased this TR6 back in July 2002 from Lenham Sports Cars in Kent when it had 61,360 on clock and has only ticked up the best part of 35,000 miles over the last 20 or so years. The TR6 came out of production in 1976, at which point Triumph had built more than 90,000.

A ladder chassis supports the pretty body, a four-speed gearbox feeds power to the rear axle, and a disc/drum set-up brings the car to a halt very effectively. It packs a 2.5-litre straight-six engine that produces 150bhp and can reach a top speed of 120mph. ![]() Launched in 1968, the two-seater Triumph TR6 is a simple, fast and highly desirable car.
