I worked for TDR at this time. Along with Graham and Dick... I put the Cosy engine in this car! Great to see that it is still being loved.

What a fantastic car! Can't believe more people haven't done more restomod projects with a TR6, because it's such a cool looking car with bags of space in the engine bay. The look on his face when he gave it some beans, you can tell it's really on the edge with all that power in such a small package. His look is not just of fear but more like "What am I doing? This thing might kill us both!!" 🤣🤣

Take my hat off to the enthusiasts who take older British classics and upgrade them properly giving the old classic a new lease of life which it/they deserve..lovely job..

My Dad had a few of these, last one was a 1976 150bhp with the dreaded Lucas fuel injection. Had it really nicely restored and then made a massive loss selling it after very little use, he still kicks himself cus shortly after the value on them went through the roof! Lovely old car, the 2.5 6 banger sounded mint to me as a teenager.

As the owner of a TR4 for the last 50 years i wonder how you keep it in a straight line. What an amazing car and a braver driver than me!

Ultimate TR6 built by a legend for the previous owner who was a man of petrol and serious taste the Military Grade Switches are off the scale in cool the fit and finish is mega and now its been refreshed the boys are doing the car proud love it.

The closest I ever got to this was Dolomite 1500 with a Sprint Badge on the back it used to skip at the back end going into corners!!! It woke you up real quick!!

Don't know why this has taken so long to come up in my suggestions, but better late than never! The TR's straight six is one of the best sounding engines, ever, but that turbo and bov is seriously addictive 😂

Love the TR6. The workmanship on this one is fantastic.

The engine reminds me of the Cosworth Vega I owned in the 70's and 80's. I removed Chevrolet's misbegotten fuel injection and fitted it with 42 DCOE side-draft Webers and then I loved it. Jetting was a snap with carbs I could pull the entire jet stack out and make changes in less than 5 minutes if I was motivated. What a difference Webers make! They are free-flowing and infinitely adjustable as I could slide in different size chokes all day if I wanted. Very nice little car.......I should never have sold it. All in all, this is a sweet ride and all the personal touches are well done and logical in their functionality.......great job! By the way, I'm a Yank.......what language are these chaps speaking?

With that much power, a locking diff would probably be more beneficial for keeping it in a straight line since it seems to be a recreational, weekend type of car. Beautiful TR-6, I always wanted one, but my dad said it was expensive to maintain British crap and that I'd spend more time working on it than driving it LOL. I ended up with a Capri 2600 V6(I live in California) in 1982 and actually raced a fellow in an early TR-6(early U.S. TR-6 were much faster than the later smog engine ones). We went neck and neck until about 85mph when I pulled away a bit(maybe a half a car), so I didn't regret getting the Capri over the TR-6, but I would still love to have one, and my long gone Capri as well! This TR-6 is purely brilliant!

Now this a car about time people startd experimenting with mad engines in old cars .

WOW that's an incredible TR6 that has to be the cleanest most professional swaps I believe I've ever seen. with all the high quality bits and pieces though out the car. there is definitely plenty of redundancy built into it with all the AN fittings and steel braided hoses. I really like the current owners philosophy with the car his saying that they wanted to get the most out of that they could. but because it's an old car a person has to have a great deal of respect for it. and how he explained every detail about the car, even though some people might find that to be too much information for a video. and how he seemed low key yet very allert and careful. and that the interviewer was almost beside himself so excited about this car, though the whole video. and how he explained how the previous owner was such a stickler about even the finest details, like his use of the ultra high quality and completely functional aircraft switches, and controls, gauges, those tiny details can mean the difference between a day of happy motoring. and a day where your enjoyment is cut short due to something as simple as a switch failure. and I also liked his choice of parts and components such as the T5 transmission. I had thoughts about finding a TR6 chassis or possibly an MGB chassis. and putting a massaged 2.8L on up to 4.0 L V6 in one, and match up which ever two would work out depending on parts availability, but haven't done it. I would have to get freed up from some other projects first. My father worked with a guy that put a 302c.i. 5.0 L V8 in a TR6. I know he had to build a special hood for it that was raised by two inches, and I know he was driving it around. but I haven't seen him in while because he's lives twenty away. and I haven't had to venture over there in a while. I will go visit him and see if he still has the car and see how it's doing.

Awesome car and a great ride-along! Always liked the TR's, all of them, but there were a few 6's around TO that regularly stomped the back roads just as they were. Like any good car, whilst treating you well, will become a part of you, drive carefully and do not become a part of it. :P Beautiful vicarious show, kudos and thanks from Canada!

I've always loved the TR6 for it's tight compact but handsome dimensions. This adds *sooo* much more. What a beast.

The TR6's were in competition with the 240Z back in the day. They were considered pretty car cool with the then innovative IRS, independent rear suspension which gave the Z and TR6 extra corner fun. Radials were fairly new then too which added to the need for insurance of a better grade.

A TR6 needs a Straight Six engine!

I love the old sports cars. I dreamt about them for decades… and then, years later, I took the plunge, I bought a Miata, a black on black 1994 NA, with 40K on the clock and cranks for the windows. I LOVED that car! I remember when I bought it, I was in a particularly good mood for at least 6 mos.! And that love affair lasted 11 years. That was in SoCal. Back in New England, I WAS missing the sports car I always wanted to drive here, so I picked up a ‘97 M-Edition again with 40K. She now has 55 and I’m livin’ the life! I would love a TR or MG, but the Miata is both, better. I consider myself lucky to be able to have a few of my favorite cars.

I would like to see you do a GT6 , my favorite Triumph !

Lovely car. I have had stock TR6's and TR4's and they were great, but this is just a whole different car. I genuinely appreciate all the hard work that went into this one. Enjoy!

Wow what a car it looks very nice and a beast thanks Adam you never fail to impress with your content

"We're gonna end up with no teeth" 🤣 That's a serious weapon!

I've seen a picture of this car a few years back, recognize the wheels, the mirrors and the all dark look. Always wondered what it was. Looks fabulous in black, and a very nice build too.

Absolutely love it. Proper hooligan, melts your trainers, can't be driven in a straight line and power enough to strip the tarmac off the road!

Thanks Adam, really enjoyed that one, nice to see something older featured.

Great fun. I've got an early TR6, tuned a bit and I love it. That thing is nuts. Well done.

Great to see this old girl on the road even though it’s got a 4 cylinder engine.Good to see the owner respect it and he talked good sense too.I always fancied building a TR6 on a lighter stronger chassis with coil overs , poly bushes etc but I would have to keep the straight 6.Would need to slim down to fit in one now.

Brilliant build! Kinda agree that it's no longer a TR6, especially w/a turbo. TR6 was happiest @ 2.5-4k rpm imho & the exhaust note was magnificient! Then again I'd planned to install a '79 Chevy 400ci engine in my mint '72 BRG TR6 (measured & it fit) when much younger. Totalled mine sadly 2 weeks before planned swap when a driver ran a Stop sign in front of me 2 weeks b4 date of swap 😭. I already had dual side draft Webers, yellow Koni shocks & glass pack dual slash tip exhaust & redone interior w/highback seats (neck/head protection) . Stock engine w/Solex's & 0 mods made the stock 150hp on the dyno when reg'd @ 9yo when I got it. Had that same hardtop. Never used it in 3 years. Rare now. Loved that car! Sadly accident bent the frame so Ins totalled it. Even had same bumper deletes 👍. Seriously no roll bar? Real fuel cell? Suspension sorted? TR6's handled well w/a bit of care & sorting. Personally don't like the Gadgetman interior/shifter. Interior makes it look 1/2 finished. Mildly like this vid. Black paint? & that tailpipe should be a TR6 crime. I can't imagine a harder clutch pedal than stock. Definitely On/Off on mine. Went thru 5.5 clutches (crooked mechanic 1x), 3 trannys in 3 years (said I was young 😆). Engine was bulletproof. I drifted mine occasionally (bit of rain helped 😉) driving up the hill home as there were several perfect drift corners. Definitely not a sleeper. More an Outlaw or Resto-mod. & where's the ubitiqous luggage rack? 😀 Cheers to his brother for building & paying the bills! Kudos for not having Insta! Yes I'm still looking for a non-OD 69-71 5 speed. Now want to install an e30 6, 240Z 6 or go monster Nissan twin turbo. The engine bay is massive vs today's cars. Lucas elec/wiring had killed my OD b4 I bought mine. 70-100kmh in 4th & an open road, my 6 was happiest. Not a race car. Definitely a tourer. Interesting build that sent me down happy memory lane. 👍

What a great car! Bucket loads of character! Very special. Love these kinds of owner stories. Subbed!

Great looking TR6! And thank goodness for closed captions!

Fantastic car. What a very pleasant and knowledgeable chap the owner is, a great video to watch

That TR6 is just bonkers....I love it 😀

Most TR6's got exported to North America minus the 150bhp fuel injection to comply with USA emissions

Finally I’m starting to appreciate old triumphs 🤔😍

I've always loved the look of the later model TR-6s! Looked at one with a Ford V-8 in it a few years ago, it was done well and was really clean. Alas, it is a weekend car and I needed a daily driver. It was hard to walk away from that one.

Stunning motor car, some care been put into it.👍🏻

The TR6 was the last of the beautiful triumph sports cars and was always my dream car and what a job the owners have done on this one, talk about a widow-maker I love it.

Mint m8 👍100% beast ... nothing like a cossie lump .

Local this, I've got pictures of it from the dovecote Inn Laxton classic car night. Lovely thing in person 👌

I've got a soft spot for the TR6 since watching them race at Harewood Hillclimb in the '90's. This takes it to a different level - love the colour / style & Cosworth engine! Best one yet :)

Very nice.. Well done and good to see the bloke that owns it knows what he is on about and what the car is about.

Love it! Another mint video Adam 👌🏻

Love the TR6. Had a Spitfire with the overdrive back in the day. Put wider lower profile tires on it and it railed like a slot car. Slow straight though. lol

Brilliant car, I have always liked the TR6. The best looking sports car got a lot better, well done.

What a car,love these old Triumph’s

I had a 72 TR6 back in the early 80's. It was such a fun car to drive. I can't imagine what this beast is like. This is a beautiful car.

Wow! That’s beautiful! I love everything about it! ❤️❤️❤️

Love it and also liked the dolomite that was done need some other triumphs converting now

Good to see a nice car with a nice owner.

As a child the Closest thing we had to a knight-righder car was a triumph TR7 in the 80s.

Was this filmed in Ilkeston / Eastwood bypass A610 ? Looks familiar lol, Awesome Motor !!!

That was a beautiful car in its day, I love the sound of a TR6 with the original engine….

Excellent video m8 The car 👀 looked minted hail hail

Awesome machine… I ordered a TR-250 in 1968. The dealer called me back to inform me it was no longer available. But if I wanted “basically the same car” with that 6 cylinder they had a first import of the TR-6. It was amazing, Pimento Red with Black interior, wire wheels…but no O/D… only regret. It could keep,up with the Healy 3000 up to 120… really miss that car.

I’ve owned several British sports cars and the TR6 was my favorite along with the capri of the same years. That is the nicest TR6 I’ve seen. Great car you have there

Great video, awesome looking car, engine looks right at home in there. Always liked the look of the TR6. Would question the use of a 3 point harness with that seat and that rear mounting method though.

The tr6 is one of my favourite classics this is another level 🙌

The perfect person/owner for this car. So knowledgeable, so sympathetic to the very special car it already was, and still finding ways to polish what's already a gem.

The interiour looks like an old fighter plane. Lovely.

"Whats that for? ... its the heater!" Fantastic great car and brilliant episode. Thanks Adam.

Fair play that looks mint. And the sound of a YB is the soundtrack of my youth haha.

Way cool,makes my 1500 spit seem sooooo tame! Thanks.

It’s nice when you hear the owners talking about the specs and knowing what’s what- not like innit bruv stage 3 🤣🤣🤣

cool car , nice to see something different

Nicely done!

I always loved the TR6. This one is amazing!

I had a 72 150 bhp tr6 when I was 19 in the late 80s it was a fast car then so that car must be amazing to drive 😎😎

Love this car and what you have done with it.👍

The owner is a Legend! You can tell by all the info he can give so fluently that he knows and loves every single inch of this lovely, mad little motor! Pukka motor, pukka owner, perfect combo!

Wow what a beast , lovely sorted car , very nice 👌 old skool can’t beat it 😂👍👍👍👍

Coffin on really nice mag wheels. Ace!

BOUGHT MOMMY A CHEVY VEGA WITH A COSWORTH ... THERE WENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

It bounces and go's. That well built.

love this. what a beast.

Nice genuine guy

Beautiful motor in a fantastic car. Sympathetically resto-moded

TR6 is one of the all-time grest designs - Michelotti? Fantastic history to this car.

Sits well. It's a beast of a thing..

"Mom" means momentary. So it is not a permanent operation of the switch as it returns back to the "off" position when moved to the Mom position. A similar switch would be used for your headlight flasher.

nice to see a good cosworth engine in something classier than ford sierra

Fantastic job - it looks too pretty for that absolutely wicked performance!

I normally wouldn’t look twice at it, but it Looks like a lot of fun no doubt!

Thankfully I had subtitles switched on.. and I’m from Leeds ! 😂 … great motor

That’s a right little beast! Cosworth rules.. personally theirs only one thing I would do & that’s move the air filter as far from the engine as possible. Mabey protrude it slightly out of the wing or mesh. That way yourll get as much clean cold air as possible.

went in the kitchen made a cup of tea and a egg sandwich came back and hadn't heard it fire up yet lol

“What you going for there…..6th?” 😂

Mint car just missing that straight 6 sound track but really mint👍👍

would a nissian or impresa back end fit on it or a custom altered tvr one work or something that can take the power m,r 2 or even a older bmw 3 back end

What an ace triumph! Power plant to match the aggressive looks. Wicked 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Love it what a car awesome shape something different 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👏👏👏👏👏👏

Always loved triumph - My grandfather has a '69 TR6 with a 302 Ford V8 in it, absolute machine it is

I always knew these old Triumph's would be great with a new engine and some mods, I'm sold, I'm gonna make it happen💜☮️💙

Wow 😮a stunning car just amazing 👌👌 brilliant video 👍👍👍

Awsome car, great video Adam, you came right near my house there. You could of looked at my classic car in boxes around the garage. 😂

Awesome car! Might want to fit a driveshaft loop like they do in the states!

Fukin Savage 👌 can't wait to watch this!

i remember going out to a breakdown with 2 lasses in a 2500pi, they had borrowed their dad's car, turns out they had run out of petrol, "well, we put a gallon in this morning", they had done 9 miles from south shields to sunderland, the cossy lump probably does better MPG

The hard top really only gives you a quieter ride. A roll bar attached to the frame does more for stiffness than anything else.

😎👍🇺🇸 Brilliant car. Absolutely stunning. I have a fondness for British cars. Owned a 74 Spitfire for awhile. Is was pretty much stock. I currently have a 71 Mini Cooper S. Apparently it was a former Marry Hart car. It still has the striped interior with the logo on it. It's not a show car but still very clean tidy. Sadly it doesn't have the original motor. Nevertheless, it's a blast to drive. Gets lots of attention here in the PNW Seattle Washington area. Cheers from 🇺🇸 ✌️

Saw that van at Santa pod raceway in the mid seventies…..what a weapon😂
