Vehicle Description
With its sports cars being fitted only with four-cylinder engines
for the preceding decade and a half, Triumph introduced a
six-cylinder engine to extend the life and improve the performance
of the beloved TR series. Similar to the earlier four-cylinder
TR4A-the first TR with independent rear suspension - but with
Triumph's 2.5-liter, six-cylinder engine installed in place of the
old 2.1-liter four, the TR5 was produced during the 1968 model year
only (October 1967 to November 1968), pending the arrival of the
TR6. This 1972 Triumph TR6 is an excellent example of a British
classic.
Restyled for 1969 by Karmann of Osnabruck, the TR6 sported a
full-width nose and squared-off tail. Under the skin the chassis
remained basically the same as its independently-rear-suspended
TR4A predecessor, while the 2.5-liter power unit was unchanged.
Handling was improved over that of the TR5 courtesy of wider wheels
and a front anti-roll bar.
For the sports car enthusiast in the early 1970s, the TR6 offered
speed, a throaty engine note, a smooth four-speed gearbox, and
exceptional road handling housed in a masculine, convertible body.
Nearly 50 years after the design was penned, the TR6 is still
considered to be one of the quintessential and most desirable cars
from the legendary Coventry manufacturer.
This 1972 Triumph TR6 is the right mix of originality and care. It
makes for the kind of value-priced classic that turns back the
clock the moment you turn the key. The dark green paint color looks
great on this classic roadster and is accented by a unique racing
stripe with union jack that adds character. A classic tonneau cover
included, as well a convertible top frame that will need new soft
top installed. The clean, upgraded black and tan seat upholstery
with matching console looks great against the classic green
exterior. You know this is a driver's car from the moment you sit
down. The grippy sports steering wheel, modern-retro radio,
well-placed shifter, and a wood-faced dash full of upgraded Auto
Meter Sport-Comp gauges engage the enthusiast in you.

The 2.5-liter inline-six backed by dual single barrel Stromberg

pipes to the muffler is terrific package that gives you much more
power than the average British roadster. The TR6 is a driver's car,
