This 1972 Triumph TR6 looks especially attractive with its fully
coordinated color combo. And everything from the way it drives to
some well-placed upgrades lets you know this is a sharp-looking
classic that wants to be enjoyed.
White is an easy color to love, especially when you have the kind
of glossy presentation here. But what really makes this one look
timeless is the way there is a well-coordinated black for a
sharp-looking contrast on the grille, windshield surround, rear
panel, and well-fitting convertible top. Plus, there's a
full-length pinstripe done in black that makes for a nice finishing
touch that also helps highlight the well-fitting panels. And
speaking of the panels, Triumph created a nicely formed car with
impressive details like the sporty kick-up in the doors and a hood
that formed around the headlights. It showed this came from a time
when they cared about style. And there's even the right brightwork
everywhere from the clean bumpers to the classic luggage rack. It's
all about making sure this one really looks European, vintage, and
distinct - all in one glance.
The black interior means you get to keep the well-done color combo
with the roof on or off. It looks quite clean and complete inside
with a driver-quality and driver-ready feel. There are even nice
details, like the working interior lights and a well-fitting
convertible boot. The TR6 was a bit more all-weather friendly than
earlier British sports cars, and you see that with the roll-up
windows and sung-fitting top. The big reason to want a TR6 is that
it knows how to engage your enthusiast side. The well-formed bucket
seats, grippy steering wheel, and full Smiths gauges are a true
sports car experience. And because this one wants you to really
drive it, the stereo has been upgraded to a retro-style unit that
now has AM/FM, Bluetooth, and a USB input to plug in your
phone.
The engine bay has a correct and tidy style that does a good job
showing off the 2.5-liter inline-six. Dual Stromberg carburetors,
clean hi-temp plug wires, and newer exhaust components are all part
of a solid-running package. And the strong motor pairs with the
four-speed manual transmission to feel quite peppy out on the road.
Plus, it's a terrific drier with tight-feeling manual steering, a
fully independent sports suspension, and power brakes with front
discs.
Complete with the owner's manual, this Triumph combines tasteful
style with an irresistible driver-ready nature. So if you're
looking for a well-priced head-turning drop-top, call today!
