This 1974 Triumph TR6 was reportedly sold new at University Motors of Roanoke, Virginia, before being acquired in October 1986 by the current owner and subsequently placed in storage beginning in 2001. Recommissioning work in 2021 included replacing the radiator, fuel tank, and clutch master and slave cylinders as well as the brakes and seat foam. The car is finished in red over black upholstery and is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include dual Stromberg carburetors, a black soft top, 15″ steel wheels, a luggage rack, and a wood dashboard. This TR6 shows 9k miles and is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a top boot, a 1987 car show award, an owner’s manual, recent service records, and a clean South Carolina title.

The car is finished in Pimento Red and features a black soft top, Union Jack TR6 quarter-panel graphics, a Talbot-style mirror, and dual exhaust outlets along with a chrome luggage rack and bumpers with black overriders. Paint chips above the passenger-side headlight and a cracked left taillight can be seen up close in the photo gallery below.

Silver-finished 15″ steel wheels with TR6-script center caps and polished trim rings are wrapped in 185-series Goodyear G800 red-stripe tires said to be decades old, and a matching spare is stored beneath the trunk floor. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The clutch master and slave cylinders were replaced, the front brake calipers were rebuilt, and the front pads and rear brake cylinders and shoes were replaced along with a brake fluid change in December 2021.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl with patterned inserts as well as matching door panels and carpeting. Amenities include a wood dashboard, a British Leyland push-button AM/FM radio, three-point seatbelts, and seat foam that was replaced in December 2021. The heater and blower do not work.

A three-spoke steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer. Gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage are located in the center of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 9k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership.

The 2.5-liter inline-six is fitted with dual Stromberg carburetors that were overhauled in December 2021. Additional work performed at the time included replacing the radiator, the battery, the fuel pump, and the fuel tank.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Corrosion on exhaust components can be seen in the gallery.
