John Emms Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 l am refurbishing my UK 1974 M reg “6” which the technical advice states is Mimosa but actually is much closer to Inca Yellow. Can someone advise what is the correct lettering and colour for the rear panels please? All help much appreciated. John Emms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think Inca was a colour for the TR6 Mimosa was the only Yellow for the 74 Here is a pic of mine with correct decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 John, Inca was a 1976 colour and only on the CF series. The rear panel was originally matt black from the factory but most are now a satin black. Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kiwifrog Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 This is my 76 unrestored CF series TR6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CP26309 Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Sorry to be picky...but the original Triumph sales brochure shows the TR6 decal exactly in the center of the side repeater. And the Union Jack version was for the export cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martin50 Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Not sure this is the original as the car had some work done on the body work paint early 90’s. There is a simple elegance to it I think. Picture below. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saffrontr Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 John, Here's an abstract from the parts book. Black decals were only fitted to yellow TR6 and the Union Jack decals to the CF series from CF1. Derek PS not one of the commission number tables posted by BlueTR3A is correct Quote Link to post Share on other sites
