investment.... -Petrolicious, May 2014, Why the Triumph TR6 is a
Collectible The Petrolicious quote above is just one of many
endorsements of the Triumph TR6 from the automotive press. Here's
another, from Hemmings Motor News in 2006: Although most cars
require years of collective nostalgic reflection to earn
collectible status, the Triumph TR6 was considered a modern classic
throughout its entire 1969 to 1976 production run, a distinction
that it still holds today. The TR6 was, and still is, a definitive
statement of the post-WWII British sports car. In the 40s, American
GIs had fallen in love with the 2-seat MGs, Austin Healys, and
Jaguars they discovered when they landed in England. The open-air,
lightweight, sports cars were unlike anything they'd left behind in
the states. Piloting these quick, floor-shifted, fun automobiles
along the country lanes and the cobblestones of narrow city streets
was addictive. When the war ended, it wasn't long before the demand
for the cars erupted in America where no domestic model at the time
came close to matching the British sports car feel. That allure
still holds today, and the TR6 is a popular choice for delivering
those period thrills in a solidly built, reliable, easy-to-maintain
automobile. The particular looks of the TR6 versus earlier TR
models help make these later cars more desirable. Commenting on the
updated body design and best-of-both-worlds result, Hemmings noted:
A clever and comprehensive facelift by the Karmann works in West
Germany... altered the front and rear ends of the TR4 design,
reshaping them in a squarer, more integrated styling theme. The
resulting TR6 was a car that looked wider and very modern, yet
aside from varying seat designs, its passenger compartment, inner
stampings and mechanicals were virtually unchanged. Offered here in
the very appealing and highly desirable combination of Inca yellow
over black leather is an exceptional-condition TR6 with reportedly
just over 2,000 total miles. The 1976 cars represented the end of
the model's seven-year production run. Delivered new in
Jacksonville, Florida, this yellow stunner is one of a total of
just 6,083 TR6s assembled in 1976. A large amount of
documentation-including original owner's literature, original
window sticker, maintenance records are included with the car. Most
notably, a British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate (specifying
a build date of June 6, 1976 and showing the original owner's
names; it even includes the name of the ship that brought the car
to the U.S.!)-is also included in an impressive 3-ring binder
historical file. In all, this is obviously a rare opportunity for
the serious collector.. From its large front chin spoiler, to the
angled Union Jack/TR6 appliques on its rear fenders, the car shows
beautifully; it begs to be driven. Top-down or top-up, the car's
sportiness is evident in its styled steel wheels, red-stripe tires,
blacked-out rear fascia, signature low profile and wide stance,
rear-deck fuel filler cap, dual exhaust pipes, and of course, its
two-seat arrangement. From behind the steering wheel, nothing
compares to a TR6. The solid wood dash (including the glove-box
door), driver-centric, full Smiths gauge arrangement,
Triumph-branded 4-speed shifter, and close-quarters seating with
ventilated leather upholstery are true to the British definition of
sports car. The origin
