Stripping down our 1973 Triumph TR6

Mauro and Andy continue to work on stripping our 1973 Triumph TR6.

We will soon be in a position to remove the shell from the chassis ready to remove the engine, gearbox and running gear.

As we always say, it’s good to take lots of photographs for future reference points…

Stripping our 1973 Triumph TR6

Due to the importance of this very special car we are under strict instruction to restore to the original factory specification.

The car is now owned by us here at Bridge Classic Cars and has been owned previously for 12 years with MOT history dated back to 1986.

The car is completed original and does require some work with a view of a full restoration some day. The car has covered 86000 miles and the last MOT expired in 2018.

The car runs well and drive’s beautifully. The bodywork is starting to age and rust in places. The front bumper has a slight crease, the seams are showing signs of rust and there are paint imperfections all round.

The interior is completely original, the seats are worn as expected.
