The Triumph TR6, introduced in 1969, is an iconic British sports car and one of the most popular models of Triumph's TR series. The design of the TR6 was largely based on its predecessor, the TR5, but with some significant aesthetic updates. One notable change was the sharper, square lines of the front and rear, designed by Karmann of Germany, which gave the car a more modern and aggressive look. Under the hood, the TR6 featured a 2.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine, which was best known for its robust torque and distinctive sound. The TR6 was also known for its relatively good handling performance for the time, with an independent rear suspension and front disc brakes, which contributed to improved handling and braking performance. The interior offered a relatively simple but functional layout, with comfortable seats that emphasized the car's sporty character. This original, early TR6 is in perfect technical condition and made a trip to Sweden last summer without any problems. The car has a beautiful patina and is mostly in its original paint. The car has a Heritage certificate and matching numbers. It is equipped with a Moto-Lita sport steering wheel, drive shafts with homokinets and Alfin aluminum brake drums, among other things. The A-type overdrive has also been overhauled and the car was fitted with a new soft top last year. Produced until 1976, the TR6 remained a popular choice among classic car enthusiasts, thanks to its distinctive style, enjoyable driving experience, and relative ease of maintenance and restoration. It became a symbol of British sports cars of the period. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
