In Brief:

• Good example of a CP prefix TR6
• Finished in White over a Black leather interior with a body coloured 'Surrey Top'
• Owned by the current keeper for the last 11 years
• Recent recommissioining work undertaken
• Accompanied by a good history file including hertiage certificate

Auctioneer’s Notes:

A good example of the desirable early home market, CP-prefix Triumph TR6. This 1972 example is offered in attractive White over a Black leather interior and is fitted with a sought-after body-coloured Surrey Top. Owned by the current registered keeper for the last 11 years, it represents a well-kept example of Triumph’s most iconic roadster.

Maintenance & Condition:

Recently recommissioned by Phoenix Classic Cars of Poole, the TR6 benefits from recent commissioning work. The car presents well and the Surrey Top enhances both aesthetics and usability.

History:

Accompanying the car is a good history file including the original TR6 handbook, a quantity of invoices for work carried out over time, MOT certificates and a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate. The Heritage Certificate confirms this example as a genuine UK-market, right-hand-drive car.

The Model:

The Triumph TR6 was introduced in 1969 and went on to become the best-selling TR of all time. Styled by Karmann, it featured bold, muscular lines and a robust chassis derived from the TR5. Early CP-prefix petrol-injected cars, such as this example, used the Lucas mechanical fuel-injection system and produced a lively 150 bhp, giving them notably stronger performance than later carburetted versions. With only 8,370 of the 91,850 TR6s produced sold in the UK, original home-market cars are particularly sought after today.

Sale Insight:

Early CP-prefix TR6s are widely regarded as the purist’s choice. This UK-market example with long-term ownership, recent recommissioning and good supporting history presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a British sports car ahead of the more sunny months.

Estimate:
£7,000 - £8,000
