Introduction
Glyn Parry
With sharp lines and a powerful fuel-injected 2.5-litre engine, the Triumph TR6 is quintessential British motoring.
The TR6 was built between 1968 and 1976. The first bodies were built in Liverpool, and the '6' was the best-seller of the TR range. Of the ~91,850 produced, only ~8,370 were sold in the UK. The frame, engine, running gear, body tub, and door were very similar to the Michelotti-styled TR5. Karmann of Germany restyled the design of the front and rear of the car, yet rumours claim the squared-off tail design was a Michelotti prototype.
With just three previous keepers, this lovely 1973 Triumph TR6 has been with Ray for over ~40 years.
This listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Ray the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi mate, following on from the last message over cold starting, my last one cost me a lot of money to get to the bottom of the problem. The other problem was that it was even harder to start when run up and hot Does this start OK when hot ?
Hi Ray.
Any idea why it should be a bad starter? In the video it appears that there is no fuel present when cold, surely the Bosch pump should supply fuel directly to the injection pump? Has it always been this way?
Thanks for your time.
It is not a bad starter although I understand why you might not agree given the evidence of the video. The car had been run four days previously and over two weeks before that-perhaps I should have been less honest!
Hi Ray, just wondered if you have made any recent changes to fuel lines etc, to cope with the ethanol in petrol? Also, what “brand” of fuel injection system did you put in please?
Thanks
Col
Given the very low mileage driven I simply stand the additional cost of removing the 5% ethanol from the petrol.
A Bosch pump is fitted while the rest of the injection system is standard.
The metering unit was sent for recalibration after experiencing a period of very poor running; it turned out that the six new injectors I had fitted were breaking at 95 psi rather than the 45 psi required, so not surprising it would not run properly!
