1972 TR6

This is a pictorial website for our 1972 TR6 (mfg date: 12-71). It has a 1971 wiring harness (PN: 311261) as witnessed by the tag hanging from the harness as the driver's left foot. The car was bought at an estate auction in May 2007. It had started life Sienna Brown. It had been painted white prior to 1979. In 1979 it was painted red. That owner passed away and his wife kept the car in the garage until her death in 2007. It had been last registered in 1980.

My initial focus was to clean/flush the fuel system, renew the brakes, renew all drive train fluids, and then adjust the carburetors, etc. Pretty much standard practices after setting for 27 years. The car came back to life better than I could have imagined! In fact, I ended up driving it for 2 years before starting a body off frame restoration.

Several factors forced the decision to remove the body from the frame: I have another Triumph TR to drive (TR4), the car was still in good enough shape to avoid major metal work, and the three paint jobs had left it needing 'cleaned' up. In addition, I wanted to 'box in' the differential mounts, powder coat as many pieces as possible, and protect the frame and underbody.
