Gorgeous 1971 Triumph
TR6 restored bottom up in 2005. I purchased this car from Triumph aficionados
in St. Louis in 2010 and they had most of the restoration work done. I
contacted the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust and received a certified
copy of the factory record (see photo) for this car. The original color was
Laurel Green, and repainted in Royal Blue. Mileage on this car is 74, 276, but speedometer was not reset when the restoration work was done. Details on the restoration as well
