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. And this 1976 model represent its final and shortened
production year.
That bold/bright red/orange stays close to the factory-correct
Pimento Red. It's a fun color that has the right attitude on this
car. That's because it's a good application with a nice shine. So
that really does a great job of letting the sunlight roll off the
well-respected sheetmetal. But this one also has the right look of
a car made for driving, so you'll be eager to take it out every
sunny day. For those who plan to use this is all-weather, there's
also provisions for a soft top and a seldom-seen color-matched
hardtop that comes with the sale (soft top will need frame and
hardtop will need to be restored.) The TR6 remains one of the best
classic styles around. You see it in 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. You can see all these details so well
because this is a well-respected car, and the low odometer is even
believed to reflect total actual mileage.
Black interiors always are attractive against red exteriors, and
this one really looks exceptional. The upholstery, carpeting, and
dash pad all have a nice and dark appearance. So the bright real
wood on the dash really draws added attention and charm. 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 instantly finds 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 an
aluminum radiator 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. You even have new tires for the proper grip.
This is the sharp-looking final-year classic that has a ton of
style and knows how to fit in your budget. That makes for a deal
that you really don't want to let slip away, call today!
