When new, this Triumph TR6 was dispatched to the USA in September 1971 and registered in San Francisco, California. It returned to the UK and was registered here in September 1996, when it was totally restored too. The current owner has had it since October 2009; four registered keepers are recorded by the V5C. The odometer shows 79,430 miles and its last MoT expired in Sept 2017, having been tested the year before at an indicated 79,371 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, the Triumph is now MoT-exempt. 

The car is described as running and driving well. The vendor notes a couple of tears on and around a few of the fixing buttons on the hood. Upgrades include a cylinder head reworked by Rolling Road Autotune, lightened crankshaft, con rods and flywheel, Kent camshaft, full-flow six-branch stainless steel exhaust, Red Top high capacity full-flow fuel pump, uprated road springs and gas adjustable Spax shock absorbers. 

Paperwork with the Triumph includes the V5C, magazine articles, MoTs, and invoices back to the 1990s. There's also some photos and a list of all upgrades.
