The Triumph TR6 Was A Highlight Of Amazing British Motoring

This was outstanding British engineering

The Triumph TR6 was produced by British Triumph Motor company between 1968–1976. For a long time, it topped as a best-seller in the TR range, although the record was later squashed by the subsequent TR7. This notwithstanding, the car remained a lovely object design to please, perform and satisfy. It had several points of excellence and remained adorable. It continues to do well and car collectors who know it’s worth pay handsomely for it.

The company gave this car a stoic 2.5-liter engine that was straight-6. Back, there were mechanical differences in carburation, just as might be found today, and the TR6 happened to carry the Lucas mechanical fuel-injection which had previously existed on the TR5. There had been a TR250 carburated specifically for the United States. It came attached to a four-speed manual transmission.

One of the advances in this car even in these early days is that between the second and the third gear, you had the option of switching to electrical overdrive. The heralded look was completed and accentuated with a 15-inch tryes.

It was a vehicle in search of excellence inside-out. The front brakes featured discs while drums were used for the rear. You could even have a factory steel hardtop that required two people to fix.

Statistics have it that out of the 94,619 units produced, about 8,370 still roam the surface of the earth. North America benefited from lots of exported pieces. Suffice it to say that these cars remain an epitome of British motoring of back in the day.
