1971 Triumph TR6 — Freshly Repainted | Restored Engine Bay | New Redline Tires

A well-founded TR6 that has been brought back to near-completion — requiring only minor finishing work to be fully sorted.

Engine & Drivetrain

The engine bay presents very well — clean, tidy, the product of careful restoration work. The 2.5-liter inline six starts without issue, maintains good oil pressure, and pulls strongly through the rev range. The gearbox is excellent, shifting through all gears cleanly with no grinding or pop-out.

Brakes feel healthy throughout. The suspension feels well sorted with lots of replaced components visible, and the rear differential — often a source of the characteristic clunk that plagues many TR6s — sounds and feels entirely free of that issue. The clutch operates correctly, though it would benefit from a system bleed or master cylinder replacement.

Body & Exterior

Panel gaps are excellent throughout, there are no signs of past accident or structural damage anywhere in the chassis or body, and the undercarriage presents as solid and rust-free.

The car has been recently repainted and presents well overall. The one area worth noting honestly is some paint blistering isolated to the hood and trunk lid — the remaining bodywork is in good condition. Those areas still present well and require close inspection to notice at normal viewing distance, and the next owner may choose to leave them as-is while driving the car or address them as part of finishing the restoration. Everything else about the exterior presentation is strong.

The wheels have been nicely restored, with excellent paint and chromework. Period-correct Redline tires — new — complete a correct and handsome period appearance. 

Interior

The interior is in livable, usable shape. The dashboard is in great condition, and new carpets have been installed. The driver’s seat has a few splits in the upholstery, while the remaining interior surfaces present well. 

Overall

For a buyer looking for a TR6 they can drive now and improve over time, this represents an honest, well-founded starting point at a significant advantage over buying a fully finished car. A sorted, solid, and honest TR6 — drive it today, finish it at your own pace.
