This 1970 Triumph TR6 is an early factory overdrive example that has been with the seller for eight years. The car was restored in the 1990s and presents very nicely today in red on black with no rust. Maintenance records date to 1988 and the seller has dialed it in over the course of his ownership with an electronic ignition, rebuilt carbs, new radiator and water pump, and more detailed below. Detailed photos show clean floor pans free of corrosion and a tidy appearance overall. This is a desirable early model before the large DOT-mandated bumpers, smog equipment, and federalized gauges on ’72-’76 cars. It is sold with its BMIHT certificate viewable below.

The car was resprayed in its original red and the seller says all panels are straight and rust free. A slightly lower factory ride height is another feature of the early cars, and other than some typical minor blemishes incurred from driving, overall finish is very good. Stock wheels are uncurbed and complete with center caps and new tires were fitted in 2008. The rear quarter panels have later model Union Jack decals and a new 3-window soft top was installed in the early 2000s. A new tonneau cover is also included but not installed..

The black interior is very clean with new carpet installed earlier this year. The dash is crack free, all instrument gauges work and seats were reupholstered in 2008 (see photos). Gauges are specific to pre-’72 cars as later cars received a ‘Federalized’ gauge design. The wood steering wheel and shift knob match the wood inlays and an aftermarket radio/CD player is fitted. The speedometer and tachometer were rebuilt and new cables were installed along with a new oil pressure gauge and metal line last year. The previous owner installed an anti-theft alarm system.

The previous owner rebuilt the engine in 1998 with a new short block. Twin Stromberg carburetors feed the 2.5-liter straight six and the stock 4-speed manual transmission is equipped with factory overdrive. A recent engine test revealed a healthy 170+ pounds of oil pressure on the road. The engine compartment is clean with no stains or leaks visible and nothing appearing out of place.

Maintenance items addressed since 2008 include a new radiator, new battery, Crane electronic ignition system, brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder, water pump and motor mounts. The car received all new suspension bushings and suspension components in 1998 and new rear lever shocks in 2008. Records show the the car had 27k miles in 1997.

The car was inspected by British car guru Lawrie Alexander and a letter from him documenting the car’s condition is viewable below. Over 50 detailed photos are attached below showing the undercarriage, suspension, floorpans and service receipts.
