Seller's comments about 1969' Triumph TR6

A Nicely Sorted TR6 with Recent Mechanical InvestmentFirst registered in 1969, this Triumph TR6 was built at Coventry on 8th December 1968 and dispatched for the North American market via British Leyland Inc. in San Francisco. Supplied new as a left-hand-drive export model, it left the factory finished in Jasmine with black trim and hood, specified with a heater, laminated windscreen and Goodyear tyres. A British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate accompanies the car and confirms its original build and export details.The Heritage Certificate records that the car was despatched on 22nd December 1969 to British Leyland Motors Inc., San Francisco, leaving Samuel Williams Wharf, Dagenham aboard the vessel Simonburn.While little is known of its time in North America, the car returned to the UK in 2015. Today it presents as a straightforward, well-prepared example that places emphasis on usability rather than cosmetic restoration. At some point it was converted to right-hand drive, and it is believed a reconditioned engine (Mileage now displays at 34, 790) was fitted during its life. Overall, it feels like a usable and correctly set-up TR6.The straight-six engine runs on twin SU carburettors, avoiding the complexity of the Lucas fuel-injected PI system. The engine and four-speed manual gearbox operate as they should, and the car drives in a manner consistent with a well-maintained example. The interior remains tidy and largely original in character.Since arriving with us at The Forge, over £7, 000 has been spent on preparation. This work has focused on key driving components rather and a few cosmetic improvements, including suspension, steering, braking, drivetrain and fuel system. Full details are supported by invoices on file.As a result, the car starts readily, drives cleanly and feels settled on the road, making it suitable for regular use and enjoyment. The recent work provides reassurance that the car has been recently prepared and maintained to be enjoyed.Supplied by The Forge, the TR6 is offered with delivery within 150 miles, a three-month mechanical warranty, independent specialist inspection, fresh MOT, oil and filter service, professional valet and a history file.Recent Work :Since arriving at The Forge Prees, we have carried out the following mechanical work:New alternatorNew washer jetsNew GAZ adjustable shock absorbers and bushesNew steering column bushNew sealed beam headlightsNew rear wheel bearingsNew foot dip switchNew upgraded rear wheel hubsNew universal jointsNew brake linesNew speedo cableNew brake calipersNew rear wheel cylinder assembliesNew brake padsNew top ball jointsNew registration plate lightsNew rear fuel tank pipeNew Yuasa batteryNew throttle pedal assembleCleaning and setting up the carburettorsCompression testing and refitting spark plugsRepairing a cracked inlet manifoldSetting valve clearancesReconditioning the distributorRoad testing and MOT submissionInvoices On File :22. 01. 2026 : £165. 78 - Rimmer Bros11. 08. 2025 : £98. 58 - Rimmer Bros06. 05. 2025 : £184. 68 - Rimmer Bros15. 03. 2025 : £1, 750. 00 - MLM Automotive03. 02. 2025 : £2, 988. 77 - Creed & Shore Motorworks18. 06. 2024 : £124. 04 - Rimmer Bros12. 06. 2024 : £234. 46 - Rimmer Bros16. 05. 2024 : £1, 027. 46 - Rimmer Bros29. 04. 2024 : £9. 87 - Euro MotorParts22. 03. 2024 : £50. 95 - British Motor Museum24. 02. 2024 : £92. 14 - Spartan MF11. 12. 2023 : £37. 20 - Moss Europe27. 11. 2023 : £32. 34 - Moss Europe27. 11. 2023 : £20. 75 - ANG Classic27. 11. 2023 : £9. 95 - ANG Classic26. 11. 2023 : £8. 19 - ANG Classic26. 11. 2023 : £21. 32 - ANG Classic23. 11. 2023 : £72. 80 - Rimmer Bros17. 11. 2023 : £44. 78 - Rimmer Bros17. 11. 2023 : £55. 00 - SB Autos16. 11. 2023 : £109. 10 - Rimmer Bros13. 11. 2023 : £21. 95 - Accuspark04. 11. 2023 : £130. 98 - HalfordsIncluded with Every Purchase:Every classic car purchased from The Forge during this period comes with a comprehensive package designed to deliver value and complete peace of mind:- Free UK Delivery – within 150 miles- 3-Month Mechanical Warranty- Independent Specialist Inspection- DVLA MOT Certificate- Oil & Filter Service- Professional Valet & Detailing- History File – including all accompanying documentation
