GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1974 Triumph TR6 Convertible finished in its factory Sapphire Blue Metallic over a Shadow Blue interior. Showing 61,436 miles, this TR6 is a particularly appealing example that combines remarkably well-preserved original cosmetics with an extensive, professionally completed mechanical and performance rebuild. With a documented ownership history, original body and sheet metal, and its numbers-matching inline-six engine, this British roadster offers an excellent balance of originality and improved driving performance.
According to the vehicle's documented history, this TR6 changed hands just twice between its original purchase and 2007, with the second owner acquiring it in 1976 and the third in 2007. Throughout much of its life, the car was enthusiast-owned, carefully maintained, and stored in climate-controlled environments. The Sapphire Blue Metallic paint is reported to be factory original, as is the Shadow Blue interior. The original frame, body panels, sheet metal, and unrestored undercarriage further contribute to the car's desirable originality. Exterior details include factory-style wheels with redline tires, chrome bumpers, British flag fender badges, and a black convertible soft top.
In 2008, the original inline-six engine underwent a comprehensive mechanical and performance rebuild performed by Bob Kolenda of Fox Motorsports, LLC. The work included a performance camshaft, ported and polished cylinder head, new valves, guides, seats, bearings, gaskets, pistons, rings, and a performance balancing kit. The project also included a rebuilt manual transmission, new clutch assembly, rebuilt carburetors, upgraded ignition components, brake calipers, and suspension work. More than $17,000 was invested in the mechanical restoration at the time, with detailed receipts documenting the work performed and components installed.
Following the rebuild, the Triumph was driven approximately 1,200 miles before returning to private collection use. The upgraded engine and refreshed drivetrain were intended to deliver stronger performance and improved drivability while preserving the character of the original TR6. Under the hood, the inline-six retains a clean, period-appropriate presentation with its distinctive dual-carburetor setup. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a traditional floor-shifted manual transmission.
The interior retains its distinctive Shadow Blue upholstery, complemented by a wood-veneer dashboard, classic Smiths-style instrumentation, and a wood-trimmed shift knob. The bucket seats, door panels, and interior trim maintain the period character of the car, while an upgraded sound system with CD and USB connectivity adds a modern convenience. The black folding convertible top allows for open-air driving, making this TR6 an enjoyable choice for weekend cruising, local shows, and scenic drives.
Accompanying the vehicle are its original driver's handbook, original owner information, and extensive documentation detailing the mechanical rebuild. The previous listing also noted an original full tonneau cover, original center console with factory stereo, and replacement window felts awaiting installation. The original exhaust and bias-ply redline tires were previously noted as available separately; their current inclusion should be confirmed.
The Triumph TR6 remains one of the most recognizable British sports cars of its era, appreciated for its lon |
