1974 Triumph TR-6 Description
This car is an absolutely gorgeous example of a TR6. You will be hard pressed to find one as nice. It was recently purchased from sunny Southern California where it spent it's life and was professionally transported to New Jersey where it was safely stored in a dry garage, riven and enjoyed sparingly. This car has been gone through head to toe by it's previous owner. Additional pictures available upon request. I've included the description below from the previous owner as I feel this best describes everything about this stunning vehicle:
The car is in brilliant condition as a very correct, nmolested original that was fully refurbished in its original and very rare color scheme of sapphire & shadow blue. This was not a "frame-off" restoration but it was very thorough, ncluding refurbishment and/or replacement of all engine ancillaries, hassis mechanicals, e-finished paint throughout and FULL interior kit including rebuilt seats and all new carpet, anels, alnut fascia, ash pads, isors and convertible top. Taking several years (and 2 owners) to complete, his was quite an undertaking - and not inexpensive either! It is clean as a whistle both above and beneath and runs strongly and reliably, ith the excellent power/weight ratio of the in-line 6 engine. Except for the driver footwell which was replaced, here is/was no visible corrosion or collision damage anywhere. All electrical systems were sorted and function properly and the car starts, uns, rives and stops as it should.

Built in November of 1973, IN *CF15894U* left the gates of the Canley plant in Coventry, ngland and eventually made its way to Sunny, outhern California where the car leads a very charmed life.
A 1” stack of parts and service receipts (totaling $10,439.97) testifies to the extensive mechanical and cosmetic work performed not for resale but to bring this vintage sports car back to its original glory so it can be enjoyed for many years to come.
Most importantly, ody gaps between hoods, oors, nd fenders are of reference quality and there was absolutely NO evidence of major collision repair or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights.
