Built for the US market she went directly to California from the UK as LHD with carburettors. Returning to Australia sometime around 2015 and undergoing a complete rebuild in South Australia she morphed into RHD, still with carburettors.
I purchased her in 2018 and have been an active participant in regular TSOA-WA meetings, touring locally from Perth on social days out. It has not been used for any competition events.
Touring from WA to the TSOA National Rally in Tanunda in 2021, she has travelled some 12,000km through South Australia, NSW and Victoria and run like a dream and returned an average of 8L /100km overall. Holds excellent oil pressure.
She has been serviced regularly in my ownership and I have a full photobook history passed on to me of the rebuild and records of servicing are up to date.
New Hood (zipper rear window); tonneau cover; new tyres: travelling boot bag; range of spares for travelling. underfloor heat / sound shielded..

I was told last night I should publish some of the mods I've done to my TR6 in the case that others may be interested, so I'll start with the Hydraulic Release bearing kit that I found from Racetorations (http://www.racetorations.co.uk).
As many of us would know, the original clutch fork mechanism wasn't one of Triumph's best designs, with the pin that holds the fork on the shaft, shearing from the moment of pushing the clutch, and the fact that its not central adds another moment. So when it breaks, it doesn't completely fail, but makes the pedal only half effective.
Add to this that many owners have also had the issue of the collar that slides over the input shaft binding after many years of use due to lubricant caked with clutch dust, and the fact that the collar isn't being pushed forward and back directly along the line of the collar, but the forces imposed on it are also down by the mechanism.
Both of these issues contribute to a pretty sub-standard clutch pedal by today's standards. And if I were going to the trouble of removing my gearbox, I wanted to upgrade it. So I did!
Some people say the TR6 was the end of the true TR sports car. It had the best of everything the TR range had to offer, Disk Brakes, IRS, Electric Overdrive and a soft top
