1972 Triumph TR6 – Signal Red, Triple Webers, 2.5L Inline-Six, 4-Speed Manual, One Owner, 77k Miles

This 1972 Triumph TR6 is a thoughtfully upgraded and extensively refurbished example of the classic British roadster, finished in Signal Red over black vinyl and powered by a performance-built 2.5-liter inline-six. Owned by a single enthusiast for the past 26 years, the car has undergone a comprehensive restoration that included a full engine overhaul, suspension upgrades, and interior retrimming. Approximately 5,000 miles have been added under current ownership, with the five-digit odometer showing 77,800 miles; total mileage is unknown.

Exterior & Bodywork

The body was removed from the chassis during the restoration, and structural repairs included replacement of the rocker panels, right-front fender, and right floor pan. A professional repaint in Signal Red was completed in 2017, and the finish retains a strong shine. A minor crack is noted behind the rear bumper, and the seller mentions the convertible top can be difficult to close when cold. The black soft top is paired with a matching boot cover and dual side mirrors, while exterior details include TR6 decals, a central fuel cap, chrome bumpers and trim, and polished twin exhaust tips.

The 15″ steel wheels were refinished in silver and are wrapped in 205/65 Falken Ziex ZE950 A/S tires. The stance is subtly lowered thanks to upgraded suspension components, giving the car a purposeful look without compromising ride quality.

Interior & Features

Inside, the cabin has been retrimmed with black vinyl bucket seats, matching door panels, carpets, and a boot cover. A wood-veneer dash panel, wood shift knob, and Triumph-branded floor mats add period-correct charm. A leather-wrapped Moto-Lita steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation, including a 140-mph speedometer and tachometer, with auxiliary gauges mounted centrally. The ignition switch has been relocated to the center of the dashboard, and window regulators were replaced during the refurbishment.

Safety and comfort are enhanced with four-point Schroth harnesses, a heater, and a dual master cylinder with a brake balance bar.

Engine & Mechanical

The 2.5-liter inline-six was professionally overhauled and balanced in 2017 by Coleman Racing Engines of Stratford, Connecticut. Performance upgrades include:

• Triple Weber 40 DCOE carburetors
• Ported cylinder head
• Upgraded pistons and connecting rods
• PerTronix and MSD ignition components
• Electric fuel pump
• Aluminum radiator with electric fan
• Aluminum flywheel
• Coated exhaust headers
• Stainless-steel exhaust system

The four-speed manual transmission is paired with a lightweight aluminum flywheel for quick revs and crisp shifts. The water pump, alternator, clutch components, and engine/transmission/differential mounts were all replaced during the restoration.

Suspension & Braking

Handling is sharpened with lowering springs, Koni dampers, and front and rear sway bars. Braking is provided by power-assisted front disc brakes and refurbished rear drums. The system was upgraded with a dual master cylinder and balance bar, offering improved pedal feel and control.

Summary

This 1972 Triumph TR6 is a standout example of the marque, blending classic British styling with performance-focused upgrades and a high-quality restoration. With its triple Webers, aluminum flywheel, and balanced inline-six, it’s ready for spirited backroad drives or weekend shows. Offered by a private seller with long-term ownership and extensive documentation, this TR6 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a sorted, enthusiast-built roadster with timeless appeal.
