Car is beautiful, Vicki even more .!

Very nice TR6 rest-mod. And the lady presenter is excellent, too. Well done.

Vickie looks stunning in her jeans next to the TR6. I would love ❤️ to take ride both of them, starting with Vickie.

Nice chassis, bet she handles well. Quite loud with the top down.....etc. etc.

Young Vicki looks well, dont think she's been locked down much during the pandemic!

Proper British sports car

That is really a fabulous price for a fabulous upgraded car.....

It went for £57k in the end. The highest price ever reached for a TR6. It was still cheap in my books.

@@presterjohn71 still cheap in your book? There's some BS uttered on SpewTube and your comment just climbed into this weeks top 10. £57k is crazy.

Is it just me or does she look younger here than on Fifthe Gear?

That ghastly carrier spoils the lines of this lovely machine....

I have had two 72's...one Henna and one French blue! Nice upgrade....

Vicky needs no refurbishment - great car.

£70,000 and a 5-year build, to be sold on for between £28,000 to £35,000 ... ouch!

Best selling of the TR range? No, that was the much slated TR7. Something the 'traditional' or 'real' TR drivers don't like to hear...

Beautiful car !!!

Always a tough call to trick up a classic. LED headlamps, fine, no doubt better brakes, good. Non-standard dash and interior trim, hum ..... Vicky Pollard trainers?

Check out that red Daytona Spider in the background (third in line behind the POS Triumph). Now that's a car. Wind in the hair at 180 mph.... Yahoo baby.

Daytonas suck. They drive like trucks under 120 mph I've heard. They kind of ugly too. I never like how daytonas looked. I like GTC/4 personally. They look like more appropriate link between the 275 and 365 BB to me

@@redmr2na ... Not at all! Like all FerraGuccies they need to warm-up. The Daytona is a larger car, and it drives like a larger car, but they are plenty nimble. More importantly they are very stable at high speeds. One must remember that they are driving a big front engine car. PS: don't speed shift one, and be sure to let the transmission warm up.

Having owned one from new between 1972 and 1977 and putting 70K on the clock travelling Europe etc the TR6 PI Mk1 should having been given an Irish name like "The Bag O'Nails"!

Bought mine in 1974, loved it but it did have problems. The gearbox needed replacing after a couple of years but I did hammer it a bit ( sporty driving? ). The main problem was the Lucas fuel injection, the built in weakness was the brass disc locating the rotating fuel delivery tube. After about fifteen thousand miles once the hardenend bearing surface wore down it then allowed it to move in increasing the amount of fuel delivered over the whole rev range. I set off from Nottingham and by the time I reached Dover I was having to fill up quite often and was lucky it got me back to my destination in Germany. This was a definite weakness which is why some fitted carburettors I believe. It was great fun and I still would like to drive one again.

Amazing what time does to some brains. They were crap except in a straight line and a GT6 could easily beat it on corners. Finish was poor. Fuel system dreadful (lost count of the number of times I had to put my mouth over the filler and blow hard on a hot day to pressurise it a little but it did work!. Differential gave me some hassle with broken mountings. Replaced the clutch and eventually sold it to another mug when I went abroad again for awhile.

Her: The roll-bar is leather covered... Me: That looks awful - that's like high heels on a "sporty chick" LOL

Hmmmm.....I love TR6's but I'm in two minds on this one. Obviously done to a very high standard but if I was prepared to sacrifice originality and spend that sort of money I think I'd ditch the S6 and stick a modern engine, maybe a V8 in there.

Back in the day I knew of a TR-4 with a Chevy V-8 in it. What an iron monster. SCCA D-mod. I also knew a "bug eye" Sprite with a small block Ford V-8 in it. 1st and 4th were only 3seconds apart. It was an auto cross car.

Nice

Vicki's legs are perfection.

Lovely car, shame the boot rack is on the wrong way round.

Nice car Vicki,, & a lovely paint job too, but not nearly as nice as your "sprayed on jeans" 😜👍

Tacky dash and seats, trim colour yuk. Otherwise not bad.

I’d rather see you than the triumph. I had one of those back in 1975 reg no GCD 200N in white !!!!!!!

What did this car fetch??

What Triumph

Nice car. And plenty of junk in that trunk.

Think it would have to be original to be a concourse winner ...

I never liked the windscreen

You look lot nicer than the tr6

Shame she had to read from the notes

How to butcher a rather nice old car. One day some poor sod will have to spend a fortune reversing those 'improvements' and trying to source an original dash, among other things.

With her broadcasting background & supposed intelligence she shouldn't have to rely on reading from notes.

TR6 pimped to buggery..

Shame about that awful red interior. And NO wooden dash, WTF that's even worse....... What is a matter with some people???

Don't like her shoes.

Move it, let's see the oil puddles .... IF it runs, it will not be running for long. Triumphs are the worse British cars ever built, and the TR-6 is one of the worse. Only surpassed by the rolling junk know as a GT-6. IF one can find the parts, and IF one has all the special tools and IF one is a great mechanic, with all the right British fluids... Than MAYBE they could get it going long enough to look silly in it.

@@infolbcclean2146 ... Having owned several British sports cars, back in the day. I would bet I know a lot more about them than you. I have had a relationship with TR-4s, 6s, & 7s, gt6s as well as MG-As, Bs, and a MG-C, a couple of Lotus and a few Jaguars, a couple of Austin Healey's, the Sprite and 3000. I have never driven an Triumph that wasn't a complete piece of junk, both new and used. Oh did I forget the little Spitfire... Yuck... Triumph as a company never had any build quality... They weigh way too much, British Iron, we used to call them. They all lack horse power, and performance. The worse of the bunch are the GT-6s.... go drive one, if you can find any that don't live in a Junk Yard. As a former British sports car driver, I feel the need to warn the unknowing, like you, of the desasterous nature of the Triumphs. So be warned... Triumphs suck.
