Lots of them do, a few are here in North America but the majority are
located in places where they drive on the left- ie the UK, Australia, etc.

Suggest you go back out to the net and find some more pics!  There's gotta
be one of a RHD (right-hand-drive) TR6!

A good starting point is http://www.tr6.org/ , also give a surf to
http://www.vtr.org/ , both are very Triumph oriented.

You'll probably be doing what I was doing last year 'round this time-
sitting on the seat with the steering wheel in my hands, making 'vroom
vroom' noises... of course, the seat & steering wheel (and gauges,
shifter, etc) were in the basement... and the car was in the back yard... 

However, I must admit it was well worth the effort.
