This beautiful 1976 Triumph TR6 Convertible has 5,600 original miles and is truly “The Holy Grail”. It’s an amazing survivor and one lowest mileage original Triumph TR6’s known to exist in the world. It has tons of original documentation that verifies everything including the mileage. This is a two owner vehicle that was with the original owner for 44 years. It retains all of the original factory Carmine Red paint which is in great condition. The paint was tested by MS CLASSIC CARS with an electronic paint meter which resulted in 100% original factory paint. The paint is complemented with the original black convertible top and original black interior which are also both in great condition. The car still sits on the original rims and Michelin-X redline tires. The entire car was rustproofed with Ziebart by Youngstown Auto-Truck Rustproofing on June 6th, 1976 which is fully documented. The car is powered by the original matching numbers 2.5L 6-cyclinder engine and 4-speed manual transmission. Everything is in working order throughout. It runs and drives excellent. This car was featured in “The Vintage Triumph” magazine. All of the original documentation and multiple miscellaneous items are included with the sale. This is an unbelievable opportunity right here, right now!

As the original two dealership Bill of Sales indicate this car was ordered by Sainato Motors, Inc located in Warren, Ohio for James J. Kasper who lived in Struthers, Ohio. It was originally ordered on February 28th, 1976 as a 1975 model which ended up getting switched to a 1976 model. A letter from Bob Sainato the owner of the dealership indicates he was trying to sell James a vehicle from stock when the order got switched. James ended up passing on those vehicles and went with this car. The second Bill of Sale was dated May 27th, 1976 which is this car.

The original exterior of this car is in absolutely beautiful condition especially considering the car is 44 years old. Matter of fact it’s actually nicer than most of the restored Triumph TR6s on the market. The body is in beautiful condition with a limited amount of minor chips. It’s free of any dents or scratches. Since the hood, doors and trunk lid have never been off the car they operate like they did when the car was new. The original factory Carmine Red paint has been detailed to a brilliant shine. The car still sits on the original 15” steel wheels and Michelin-X redline tires. The wheel numbers are as follows: 5.5JX15x6, 311243, K5A and 981 which decode as 1976 Triumph TR6 wheels. The tires numbers are as follows: FHTJ A8NX465 which decode with a production date of the 46th week of 1975.

The original interior of this car is also in absolutely beautiful condition especially considering the car is 44 years old. Matter of fact it’s actually nicer than most of the restored Triumph TR6’s on the market. The black interior is super crisp with virtually no signs of wear. The dash pad, walnut dashboard, dash hardware, gauges, steering wheel, console, shifter, e-brake handle, door panels, door hardware, seats, seat belts, carpeting and rubber floor mats are in great condition. The photos of under the dash, under the carpeting and under the seats clearly demonstrate the condition of this original interior. The original Ziebart stickers and a service sticker are still on the driver’s door.

The original engine compartment is very clean throughout. The backside of the hood still retains the original yellow factory emissions control sticker. The Ziebert yellow tabs are also on the back side of the hood and edge of inner fenders. It was treated to Ziebart Rustproofing which was sprayed on the firewall, inner fenders and radiator support. When the Ziebert Rustproofing was being applied some of the overspray went on the engine block which is still visible. The yellow original Ziebart sticker is still on the inner fender. The car is powered by the original matching numbers 2.5L 6-cyclinder engine that runs excellent. The engine stamp number 43335 matches the engine number on the original factory window sticker. The window sticker reads 152 cubic inch displacement, two single barrel carburetors, manual 4-speed transmission non-catalyst, 2750 LB. test weight, 3.7 axle ratio.

The undercarriage is very clean throughout. Everything was completely sprayed with Ziebart Rustproofing when the car was new to prevent rust.
