stuart Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Just checked. My TR6 engine number is CP25212. Can it be an original engine ?. Judging from your chassis number then yes that would be correct. If you want to find out all the details then get a heritage certificate for the car. Stuart.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beex64 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 It seems that my TR6 is totally 9th product car ever made and 6th car which is made in 1969. Does anybody know, how many LHD car with or without ovedrive has been made before mine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Winston Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Treat me gently as this is my first post. I own CP25215 and it is in regular use. In fact it had an outing from Sussex to the New Forest only last week. Car is great but could seriously benefit from overdrive. Gavin I own the car down the line but one to yours, nice to hear yours is being used. Mine is within a couple of weeks away from stretching her legs!! If you type in on you tube.. project tr6 and scroll down you will see a clip of her going round and round the garden, first time out in 30 years, felt new. cp 25217 how close are we? keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi Stan, my recollection is of very few early UK TR6s being fitted with overdrive, even road test cars . . . . the straight gearbox was more common, unlike PI saloons which usually featured overdrive - at least in my experience.

stuart Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Paint code "571" is stamped on commision numberplate on left hand side inner fender. Some pictures of this car kindly sent to me by Sakari. Colour looks very similar to Daimler Van Den Plas Series 2 XJ12 Coral which was a very rare colour. Comm plate looks like a repro to me so the colour code may be a local one just for the colour the car is painted in now. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Much further South and I get wet feet! Your car looks a beauty. Shame we are so far apart. Mine was owned by a guy in Coventry for appx 21 years and he restored it we believe in the mid to late eighties. It has developed a nice patina now but has spent much of its life up to now in a garage. The chap in Coventry sadly passed away shortly after completing the car and his widow let it go appx 2007. It then did 600 miles over the following years until I bought it last year. Poor old thing doesn't know what has hit it now, as I have probably already added 1000 miles regards gavin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be good to meet up one day? Glad your enjoying your tr. I bought mine in 1977 when it was 7, had it on the road for about 2 and a half years Then decided to turn it into the best tr ever.. dreams ah. Tr then off the road a couple of years or so. Then started the mammoth task off striping the car , which id been as organised, As I was enthusiastic. Sorry to go on etc etc then last august a very good friend offered to help finish the project off. Now very close. Nice talking. Keith. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beex64 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I finally got reply from British Motor Heritage. Original color of my car is Triumph Racing green / tan. My car got total colour change in somewhere in it´s history I liked that colour so that doesnt matter. Can anybody answer to my question concerning how many Early TR6 were made as LHD? Could it be so that my CP25164LO is one of the first LHD car ever made? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrehke Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I have very recently purchased Chassis Number CP 25209-O, which still has "matching numbers" including engine block CP 25151-HE...though not in the original Paint Code of New White...was resprayed French Blue in about 2002...as you can see from the image she currently has Minilites fitted - will be fitting the 1970-73 Steel wheel rims to her soon. She was built on 26th January 1969, despatched on 27th March 1969. Have just renewed the rocker shaft, which appeared to be the original one (it had bungs in each end, and not the modern replacement Allen socket grub screws fitted).

saffrontr Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 David, You might have the earliest production TR6 in existence but the pre-production TR6, CP25001-O still exists today and is under long term rebuild in the South of Wales and it was built on the 4th July 1968 along with CC25001L Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FatJon Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 My June 1970 PI is CP52090-0 Does that mean they made circa 27k cars in 18 months?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 There were no TR6 built with commission numbers between CP26998-O (last of the 1969 model) and CP50001 (first of the 1970 model) Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
