1974 Triumph TR6 Convertible
Radwan Classic Cars is pleased to offer
this stunning 1974 Triumph TR6 Convertible. The Triumph
TR6 (1968–76) is a sports car built by the British Triumph Motor
Company between 1968 and 1976. It was the best-seller of the TR
range when production ended. Of the 91850 TR6s produced, 83,480
were exported; only 8,370 were sold in the UK.
The bodywork was generally similar to the TR4/TR5, but the front
and back ends were squared off, reportedly as a result of a
consultancy contract involving Karmann.
All TR6s were powered by Triumph’s 2.5-litre straight-6, with
the same Lucas mechanical fuel-injection as the TR5 for the United
Kingdom and global markets, and carburetted for the United States,
as had been the US-only TR250.
The TR6 featured a four-speed manual transmission. An optional
electrically switched overdrive operated on second, third, and
fourth gears on early models and third and fourth on later ones.
Construction was traditional frame. Other features included
semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension, rack and pinion
steering, 15-inch wheels and tires, pile carpet on floors and
trunk/boot, bucket seats, and full instrumentation. Brakes were
discs at the front and drums at the rear. A factory steel hardtop
was optional, requiring two people to deploy. The dashboard was
walnut veneer. Other factory options included a rear anti-roll bar
and a limited-slip differential.
The UK version TR6PI could accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 8.2
seconds and had a top speed of 120 mph according to Autocar
magazine. The Triumph offered here is an amazing example of the
marque. The current owner of the car took delivery in November of
2014 with approximately 74,000 miles. At that time Britalia Import
Auto Services completed a full mechanical overhaul of the car
including: Rebuilding the engine from top to bottom, new brake
master cylinder and lines, new clutch assembly, master and slave
cylinder, new alternator, hi-torque starter, polished aluminum
valve cover, new belts and hoses, new ignition system, new electric
fuel pump, sport exhaust header, electronic ignition (pertronix),
restored fuel tank, re-built carburettors, new rack and pinion
mounts, new differential mounts, and additional items. Then it was
fitted with a new canvas convertible top with chrome mounting
hardware and a complete new interior. All felts, trim and moldings
were replaced as well. It is one of the nicest Triumph’s we have
seen. The car comes complete with a file of restoration pictures
and receipts.
