1969 TRIUMPH TR6 CC
Originally registered in 1969, UBD 413G came offline at Triumph’s Coventry factory on 8th December 1969 and was despatched to British Leyland Inc. in San Franciso two weeks later. JTU 758L has aged gracefully and boasts a sturdy chassis, a well-maintained body, and dependable mechanics.
At some point it emigrated from there to the equally car friendly climate of Perth, Western Australia, before finally being repatriated in 2015.
Its familiar straight-six engine breaths through a pair of SU’s carburettors, and the steering was evidently converted to righthand drive some years ago.
UBD 413G is an honest car and in summary the engine, four-speed manual transmission, bodywork, and black upholstery are all in good condition for its age. The only real criticism is the paintwork commensurate with a 50-year-old car, but we have priced accordingly.
This Triumph TR6 has real character and comes complete with black hood, torpedo-style door mirrors, high-backed bucket seats, leather rimmed steering wheel, stereo player, over-mats, spare wheel, chrome rocker cover and pancake air filters, plus a Heritage Certificate.
Since arriving with us at The Forge Prees we have concentrated mostly on recommissioning the mechanics of the car. Some of the work that we have carried out include :
New washer jets, New GAZ adjustable shock absorbers and bushes, New steering column bush, New sealed beam headlights, New rear wheels bearings, New foot dip switch, New upgraded rear wheel hubs, New universal joints, New brake lines, New speedo cable, New brake callipers, New rear wheel cylinder assemblies, New brake pads, New top ball joints, New registration plate lights, New rear fuel tank pipe, New Yuasa battery,
This is a great opportunity to purchase a 1969 Triumph TR6 CC that presents nicely, has been maintained well and provides room for further enhancements to be made. On the road it drives superbly and sound fantastic too!

When you buy from The Forge, you’re not just purchasing a classic car—you’re joining our extended family.
Each car we offer is carefully handpicked, often sourced from fellow enthusiasts who share our values. Before any vehicle reaches our showroom, it undergoes an independent inspection, an MOT if needed, and professional detailing, ensuring it’s in prime condition and ready for its next journey.
We fully own every car in our collection. This structure guarantees the integrity of every transaction and demonstrates our commitment to quality.
Although original manufacturer warranties aren’t possible due to these cars’ age, we take immense pride in presenting each car in excellent condition, free from known faults upon delivery. We inspect each vehicle thoroughly, document any repairs, and include invoices for parts and labor in the car’s history file. If a service is warranted by mileage or time, we’ll at minimum perform an oil and filter change with OE/OEM parts, which is also noted in the car’s records.
Upon collection or delivery, we record the mileage and provide a 3-month/500-mile warranty (whichever comes first). Should any issues arise beyond standard wear-and-tear, given the car’s age, please reach out to us directly—we’ll do our utmost to assist.
Classic cars are timeless machines with intricate components that may occasionally need attention. Embracing a classic means accepting these quirks and savoring the open-road journeys that make them feel as exhilarating today as they did decades ago—whether that’s 20, 30, or even 40+ years in the making.
History Of The 1969 - 1976 Triumph TR6:
The 1969 Triumph TR6 looked like a new car upon its introduction, but it was in fact a very clever Karmann facelift of the Triumph TR5. While the convertible’s mechanicals remained consistent, the front and rear panelwork were re-shaped into a more modern style, including the TR6’s infamous 'grinning' radiator grille.
The TR6’s doors and windscreen were still taken straight from the TR4, as were the underpinnings. Wider wheels were fitted, and steel were standard, with stylish chrome trim rings to maintain the exclusive look. Inside, the Triumph’s seats were given a little extra padding, but under the bonnet things continued as with the TR5 and TR250, with fuel injection and 150 bhp for most of the world and 104 bhp with carburettors for the USA.
The TR6 remained unchanged until 1976, when the TR7 was ushered in to replace it, but the relationship between the two cars was limited to the TR name only—there were no carry-over parts.
