1972 Triumph TR6
The Triumph TR6 is one of the most widely adored offerings from the United Kingdom of the 1970s and is generally considered one the last of the pure, lightweight British sports cars. It was the natural continuation in a line of lightweights build by Triumph, and improved upon both the classic styling of the TR4A and the punchy power plant of the TR5. The square body was praised for its masculine design while the 2.5L inline 6 cylinder engine was praised for both its performance and durability. As a result, the TR6 was a huge market success for Triumph with just under 92,000 examples being produced. Its replacement, the TR7, while a success in terms of sales numbers failed to garner the same affection. Soon after the end of its production life-cycle, the TR6 was recognized by British motoring enthusiasts as the gem that it truly was. The classic styling, lightweight body, responsive handling, and robust inline 6 resulted in one of the most memorable British sports cars of the 60s and 70s.
This TR6 is a highly desirable “small bumper” example coming from long term ownership. The Layland White paint shows exceptionally well, with tan vinyl appearing to have been recently refinished. The original 2.5L inline 6 cylinder engine is extremely robust and has benefited from recent service. Recent work includes new brakes, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, and a replacement radiator. The radio and speakers were also replaced with upgraded units.
