This 1974 Triumph TR6 was purchased new at Koster-Swope Imports in Louisville, Kentucky and remained with its original owner until being acquired by the seller in 2015. It is finished in red over a black interior and is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six mated with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a black soft top, a chrome luggage rack, 15” steel wheels, a bullet-style side mirror, and a push-button cassette stereo. Service performed in 2016 included reupholstering the seats and rebuilding the carburetors, starter, and alternator, along with refreshes of the transmission, brakes, and cooling system.
The car is finished in red and received a two-stage repaint by the seller. Rubber weatherstripping was replaced at that time and a replacement black soft top was installed in 2016. Additional features include halogen headlights, a chrome luggage rack, a bullet-style driver’s side mirror, a front air dam, Union Jack graphics on the rear quarter panels, and chrome bumpers with rubber overriders.
Steel 15” wheels wear TR6 hub covers and aluminum trim rings and are mounted with 185-width Universal Sport redline tires that were installed in 2016. Additional work performed included rebuilding the calipers and wheel cylinders as well as replacing the brake hoses and pads, suspension bushings, tie rods, steering rack, and brake master cylinder.
The seats were recovered in 2016 with black leather upholstery and a matching carpet kit was also installed. Amenities include a locking glove compartment, a Sanyo push-button cassette stereo, a wood shift knob, and carpeted floor mats. A tear in the dash pad is present above the choke lever.
A three-spoke steering wheel fronts a wood dash panel that houses Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage. The five-digit odometer shows 41k miles.
The 2.5-liter inline-six is fitted with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors that were rebuilt by Macy’s Garage of Dayton, Ohio in 2016. Additional work at that time reportedly included cleaning the radiator, rebuilding the starter and alternator, and replacing the following components:
The four-speed manual transmission was refreshed in 2016 with a resurfaced flywheel and replacement clutch, hydraulic cylinders, synchronizers, bearings, and pressure plate. The rear differential was also re-sealed at that time and the u-joints replaced.
The factory window sticker is included in the sale along with purchase documents, spare keys, and service records.
