Vehicle Description
For many, the Triumph TR6 is the pinnacle of the traditional
British roadster. It has a powerful inline six motor and fully
independent suspension, so it's the perfect mix of vintage, nimble,
and fun. And this example delivers good looks with upgrades - all
for quite an obtainable price.
While all classic British roadsters are attractive, the deep red
seen on this one seems to perfectly convey sportiness and
sophistication all in the first glance. This continuation of the TR
series had more muscular fender lines. There was also no mistaking
its Triumph heritage with a flat Kamm-back treatment that was also
seen on the larger cars like the Stag. There's a minimal amount of
brightwork to keep these cars uncluttered, and so the polished
pieces were nicely upgraded to stand out even more. For example,
the bumpers have a smooth look thanks to no overrides (they do come
with the sale,) and the wire wheels have genuine knock-off hubs for
a true European sports car experience.
A black interior against the red exterior always looks good on
convertibles like this. And just like the exterior, there are some
terrific but subtle upgrades. For example, the real wood dash is
extra glossy, the bucket seats are finished in a supple leather,
and the steering wheel is a sporty Moto-Lita unit. Because nothing
is better than your favorite song on a road trip, this roadster has
a proper AM/FM/cassette stereo. And for those times when you get
caught out in wet weather, there is full convertible top and
roll-up windows.
The TR6 is particularly coveted for its motor. It has 2.5-liter
inline-six backed by dual Stromberg carburetors, so it's one of the
most powerful lightweight British roadsters of the era. The motor
fires up nicely and knows how to pull this lightweight machine with
real authority. This powerful acceleration is in your full control
thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. Take the long way
home, and you'll instantly fall in love with the way the fully
independent sport suspension and front disc brakes handle in this
roadster. And the upgraded wheels allow for better tires, like the
grippy BF Goodrich units on this one right now. The full feeling is
a hypnotic experience that will instantly remind you why the
British are known for driving passion.
This has been carefully owned, and the sale even comes with an
indoor car cover. This is the ideal Sunday Funday driving friend,
and it's offered for a terrific price. Don't miss out, call
