Introduction
Glyn Parry
The TR6 is one of the great Triumph sports cars.
Some 80,000 were exported overseas, only around 10% were UK RHD drive cars, so to find one like this is pretty rare.
We love the sound of the 2.5L straight-six engine. This car presents itself as a potential for a collection, or ready to be driven away. The low mileage and low ownership makes it both collectable and driveable. A few thousand miles on a 23,000 miles car from 1974 won’t devalue this example.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Alan the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Alan has provided pictures of the car before and during restoration from 2011/2012, when it was in the previous ownership. These have now been uploaded to show the extent of the work carried out.
Just checked DVLA mot history with the Registration of VPF 111M & it shows as JULY 1971 rather odd for a 1974 CR model.
It is odd and I’ve only found out about it from your comment. I have just emailed DVLA now to correct the mistake on their system as the log book clearly confirms the correct registration date of March 1974. It is 100% a DVLA system error.
Just checked DVLA MOT history again still showing July -1- 1971.
Please see below email response that I received from DVLA last Wednesday when you alerted me to their error;
Thank you for your email. Your query will be dealt with by a member of our team, or passed on to an appropriate person or team, as soon as possible. We will endeavour to reply within our agreed service level of 10 working days.
They are still within their 10 day service levels so not much else I can do I’m afraid.
Hi John, we’ve uploaded another image of the V5C, you’ll see the paperwork has the date of 1974
Here’s the latest response from the DVLA;
Dear Mr Lyne
Thank you for your email dated 25 September 2019, concerning an incorrect date of first use on the MOT records.
Before any amendments can be made to an MOT record, we are required to see evidence which states the correct date of first use.
Please can you email a copy of the V5c to this mailbox, so we can forward the details on to the appropriate MOT department to update the MOT details.
Over 90% of customers surveyed are satisfied with the service we have provided. Let us know what you think by clicking here.
Many Thanks
So basically I’ve got the people who produced the V5 asking me for a copy of the V5 to clarify the correct date. Priceless!
This will get corrected but I doubt it will be before the auction I’m afraid.
The reason they want a copy of your V5 is to check wether it has been forged or not as there was quite a few V5’s stolen from the DVLA in the last few years.
All these pictures but no photos of the of the underside of the car?
Hi John, looks like we didn’t take the low shots like we normally do. However, there are a few shots of suspension/chassis that give a decent view. We’ll see if we can get the photos of the restoration in progress too.
Needs putting on a lift & taking full view shots of the whole underside.Also where are the photos of the restoration & what was the name of the company that restored the car?
Yes appears a well sorted car worthy of my serious consideration, following 15 years ownership of a very nice TR4.
Am currently considering a more powerful TR6, however the lack of being personally able to check the cars MOT history is the only negative of your excellent presentation of this car.
Hi Brian, have you had a look through all the images of the MOT’s etc? What extra information are you looking for.
Is this a US spec car with left to right conversion?
Hi Colin, no this is a UK car.
Thx
