Triumph TR6 1973
Specifications
Description
The Triumph TR6 is a British six cylinder sports car and was the best-seller of the TR range built by Triumph when production ended in July 1976. A total of 94,619 TR6s were produced.
The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the TR5, but the front and back ends were squared off, reportedly based on a consultancy contract involving Karmann. This is referred to as a Kamm-style tail, which was very common during 1970s era of cars.

A throw back to a simpler time when car and driver were one and every mile of roading was total enjoyment. The sound of the inline six is beyond description as you blast through the curves with top down.
You can do all of your own basic maintenance and most relatively inexpensive parts are still readily available and reasonably priced from various outfits – nationally and internationally.
This is an awesome, British Two Seater Convertible, that is appreciating like no other Triumph at the moment. It is very much a masculine machine, calling for beefy muscles, bold decisions, and even ruthlessness on occasion. It could be dubbed the last real sports car.
Will be sold warranted and registered.
