1972 Triumph TR6
Specifications
Description
When describing a car, we always put a lot of thought in how best to describe it.
The car that the term ‘last of the hairy-chested British sports cars' was perhaps designed for, the TR6 has been a firm favourite for over 40 years.
Triumph rocked the motoring world with the TR6 bringing in new style, new features and new status. The TR6 was created for that person who knows what motoring is all about; who is mature enough to appreciate superb engineering; who is eager to accept both the thrills and the responsibilities of power motoring allied to superb road holding. In the hands of such a person, the TR6 is one of the most responsive sports cars in the world – at any price.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Chassis #: CP/176857
- Engine #: CP76625HE
- Factory RHD - NZ NEW
- Beautiful straight body and paintwork.
- Very Tidy interior

- Very clean under the bonnet and boot area - same applies to undercarriage.

- Tight to drive.
- A great driver's cars but also a good investment for someone who knows how to live and drive in style. Every line, every curve, every angle earns its keeps in terms of better motoring.
- Manual with Overdrive gearbox that is both positive and rewarding. Slotting home gears are a pleasure, especially when you make full use of the torque offered up by the sonorous straight-six engine – it's worth holding off the changes a little longer, better to enjoy the delicious, rasping exhaust note.
The Triumph TR6 ranks as one of the most popular British sports cars ever made.
It was basically a re-skinned TR5, complete with fuel-injected, six-cylinder engine mounted to an IRS chassis. Regular coachbuilder Giovanni Michelotti was unavailable, so German firm Karmann stepped up to the plate instead, producing a sharp redesign, but still utilising the same body tub.
If you are looking forward to open-top motoring, you'd do well to consider a TR6.
The bare facts make a lot of sense – superb back-up from both clubs and specialists. For the more hard-nosed buyer, a decent TR6 will make a good investment too – the rarity and desirability of the preceding TR5 has seen prices of that model skyrocket in recent years. A knock-on effect being that the TR6 is following suit as people cotton onto the fact they are pretty much the same car underneath.
Prices have certainly strengthened over the last few years, and sure are rising. Getting in now should prove a shrewd investment.
Car will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.
