This 1973 Triumph TR6 is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and it is finished in red over black vinyl upholstery. Equipment includes a black soft top, 15″ steel wheels, chrome bumpers, dual Stromberg carburetors, a heater, wooden dash trim, and a RetroSound AM/FM radio. The transmission was rebuilt by previous owner in July 2014, and subsequent service reportedly included replacement of the seat covers, upholestry, door panels, carpets, brake master cylinder, and exhaust.The body was finished from the factory in Pimento Red (72) and, according to the seller, was repainted under prior ownership (date unknown).

A dent is present in the left front fender, paint is missing from the right rear lower fender, and miscellaneous scratches, chips, and blemishes are viewable in the gallery below.Silver 15” steel wheels feature polished aluminum trim rings with TR6 center caps and are wrapped in Kumho Solus KH16 tires.
