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. As you start to look
around the car, be on the lookout for some subtle features that
give this a more aggressive and individual style. The front chin
spoiler, cat's eye headlight covers, and quad exhaust tips do a
great job of adding sporty appeal without taking away from the
classic British panache. And the TR6 really has a ton of style. The
way the hood and the fender join to integrate the headlight
housing; the stylish profile kick-up within the doors; and the
racing-inspired flat rear end with a hint of overhang - it's all
what makes this true sporty style on wheels.
The black convertible top looks great against the deep red
exterior, and with one hand you can fold it back to show off an
equally well-coordinated back interior. A car like this is meant to
be open to the world, so not only do the black components look
great, but there are some nice detail touches, too. For example,
the walnut grain wood on the dash is a premium look that also
coordinates nicely with the rest of the black components. And the
retro-style radio adds a modern AM/FM digital tuner without looking
out of place in a '70s machine. But more than just look nice, this
is a true driver's machine. You feel it the moment you slip into
the bucket seat. Your left hand loves the sports steering wheel,
and your right arm finds an ideal balance with the armrest center
console and the stick shift in the perfect position. Plus, it
wouldn't be a true British classic without a full set of Smiths
gauges.
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. You can
tell this has been treated correctly by the tidy presentation in
the engine bay. And as you dig deeper, you'll see details like
crisp belts wires, and hoses. There's even an aluminum radiator
with electric fan to help keep it running cool. 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. The full feeling is a hypnotic experience that will
instantly remind you why the British are known for driving
passion.
A well-finished European classic droptop like this has serious
appeal, and so at a price like this, you know you need to hurry if
you want to take it home. Call today!!!
