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 - 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. Even the little details are
aggressive such as bright trim ring around the factory wheels that
are reminiscent of Chevy's Rally package. 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 bright work to keep these cars uncluttered, which just
makes the bright pieces elements stand out even more. So the
bumpers are mirror-like, and the luggage rack is just begging to
have a picnic basket strapped to the back for a Sunday funday.
The interior is another hallmark of the great British roadster.
With a real wood dashboard full of original Smiths gauges, it
definitely has a hand-crafted European feel. The bucket seats,
grippy steering wheel, and perfectly-placed gearstick combine to
give you the ideal driving feeling. Because nothing is better than
your favorite song on a road trip, this roadster has an upgraded
AM/FM/cassette stereo system. 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 doesn't
suffer from the anemic reputation that other British roadsters
have. In fact, this is one of the larger motors out of the iconic
era of sprightly roadsters. The motor was rebuilt about 20k miles
ago, and the solid investment is instantly apparent by the tidy
presentation under the hood. In a car that weighs barely 2,500 lbs,
it has quick acceleration and the power to keep pulling well into
highway speeds. Adding to this versatility is the control you get
from 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
lightweight roadster. The full feeling is a hypnotic experience
that will instantly remind you why the British are known for
driving passion.
This classic comes with all the right paperwork, including the
original warranty card, bill of sale, a service manual, build
receipts, copy of original window sticker, and maintenance records
that show this car was originally from Charlotte, NC. There's even
a car cover and spare components. This is a nicely maintained
classic that gives you a terrific driving experience at an
unbeatable price. Don't let this deal slip away. Call now!
