Good to see Stevie Wonder still doing the odd paint job!

[johncallaghan]

Terrible colour match; doors look different colour to bonnet and boot 🙄

[colinmiller]

I would love a TR6, but not that one.

[lascm]

Imports will have welding patches on the firewall from swapping left to right hand drive - most look like my cat did it 😂

[nicnak]

Triumph 2500 TC had the same gear knob and overdrive on third and fourth.

[craigscothern]

I like this colour combination. Hot summer’s day, hood down, the burble from that straight 6.

[christoph]

those seats are from a USA TR6, and the fact that the car is on carbs would suggest an imported car (USA) ? a quick look at the engine block number would likely tell you more about its origin.

[PhilJordan-ym]

Seats are from a very early tr6, 69/70. The car needs painting and restoring

[rossanderson]

What about the awful paint match on the doors Derrick?

[Fintoman]

The original switch for the overdrive on a TR6 was a stalk on the steering column. This one has most likely been fitted with an overdrive at a later stage. The owner has opted for a Stag or Dolomite style switch on the top of gear shifter knob .
Absolutey nothing wrong with strombergs either. Millions of cars had them fitted, nothing unique to Triumphs. Simplest carb in the world. Usually the people not understanding them is the problem.

[tomtugboat]

Door is a Re spray that doesn’t match - too dark !

[Quinndiver]

points to terrible fitting door and says "wouldn't come out of the factory much better than that" as opposed to "the frame is rotten, that's why the doors sag"

[nickname]

Purchase at knock-down price. 1st job respray authentic colour (do not ask Stevie Wonder again). 2nd job replace hood for black. 3rd job replace wheels.
Second thoughts forget it 😂.
