BaT Auction: Original-Owner 1974 Triumph TR6

This 1974 Triumph TR6 was reportedly purchased new by the seller in Seattle, Washington in 1975 and has since been relocated to California. It is finished in blue with a matching removable hardtop over a black interior and is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six paired to a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes chrome bumpers with black rubber overriders, 15” wheels with polished trim rings, a chrome fuel cap, a woodgrain dashboard, and an AM/FM radio. The battery was replaced and the carburetors adjusted in 2019. This TR6 is now offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The body is said to have been repainted in its current blue in 2019 and features a removable body-colored hardtop, chrome bumpers with rubber overriders, a bullet-style driver-side mirror, Union Jack TR6 graphics on the rear quarter panels, and a chrome fuel cap.

The 15″ steel wheels wear polished trim rings and are mounted with Travelstar UN 106 tires that measure 215/70. Braking is handled by power-assisted discs up front and drums in the rear.

The interior features seats upholstered in black vinyl along with matching door panels and carpets and a woodgrain dashboard. Amenities include black floor mats, an AM/FM radio, a wood shift knob, and a locking glove compartment. Duct tape repairs are noted on the front seats, and the seller describes cracks in the dash and interior trim.

A three-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 55k miles.

The 2.5-liter inline-six features twin SU carburetors and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Service in 2019 is said to include replacing the battery and adjusting the carburetors.
