1972 Triumph TR6 RHD

POA.
From an original production date of December 1971 this TR6 was shipped from Samuel William Wharf, Dagenham aboard vessel ‘Silverfjord’ as a LHD North American (Canadian) Export to be first registered in British Columbia in 1972. The vehicle is shown believed to be Colour/Code Porsche M3C #ff0038 (Carmine Red) from its original Colour/Code 65 (Emerald), the car displays its original black vinyl interior and hood. This iconic 1970’s, export Triumph was originally supported with a Triumph 6 cylinder, 2.5L engine through twin Zenith Stromberg Carburettors, and Transmission giving a peak power of 125 horsepower at 4800rpm. This vehicle since still remains its original body format admit the louver in the bonnet to help let hot air out. The modified mechanics and drivetrain are summarised here:-

This classic TR6 although original in appearance has been transformed with an uprated modern Chevrolet V6, 3.4L fuel injection engine, coupled to an IROC T5 World Class Transmission, through to a Nissan R200 / 4.10 ratio rear Differential, the cooling system is through an early Mustang radiator. The car has been rewired with new fuse set, both Suspension and Brakes are uprated (Disc brakes all round), there is variable electric power steering leading to 17″ Minilite alloy wheels.

Fundamentally the vehicle has a larger throttle barrel, enlarged fuel pump, enlarged ported air flow throughout. The ECU has been rewritten to keep the standard size injectors but gives a longer fuel pulse to supply more fuel on demand, the OBU diagnostics remains with plug-in socket for fault finding. The dashboard and steering have been remade/replaced to keep the original wooden design on newer electronic Dolphin dial sets.

We believe the car offers reasonable fuel consumption, offering around 220 horsepower at the flywheel and around 210 horsepower at the wheels although not dyno tested. An emission certificate and recorded register are held from testing and registration in Canada (point of build and steering conversion to RHD). The vehicle shows a recorded mileage of under 1500 miles since body off restoration and engine conversion of which just under 1000 miles were in testing and vehicle set up. The build was from Bill Sinclair and Dave Renner, of British Restorations and Sinner Performance, with influence from Richard Good Motorsports. Needless to say a huge spend: thought and time has gone into this car.

The vehicle price is offered to restoration and conversion standard, it is currently in storage on Jersey with its Canadian plates and last vehicle license, if preferred after sale we can offer the car to be Guernsey licensed/registered at basic and registrations costs.

From the vehicle’s current located in storage on Jersey there is a recent video clip of the engine shown running, we are happy to help with worldwide shipping, or short term owner’s risk storage free for the first six months and available to extend to a longer term if required. If the car was to be transferred onto our Guernsey warehouse it would be at a minimum agreed cost.
