Vehicle Description
This 1975 Triumph TR6 blends classic British roadster character
with tasteful updates that set it apart. Built in May 1975 for the
U.S. market (Commission No. CF38799U), this example shows 26,886
miles and has been refinished in Midnight Blue, a rich
period-correct Triumph color that suits the car's muscular lines
and timeless stance.
Inside, the cabin features custom Shadow Blue vinyl upholstery, a
departure from the factory black trim that adds a refined,
coordinated feel with the exterior. The car is fitted with a black
vinyl convertible top in good condition, completing the classic
British roadster look. Under the hood is the robust 2.5-liter
inline-six, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and dual
Stromberg carburetors, delivering the torque and tone TR6s are
known for.
Adding to its visual appeal and vintage touring spirit, the car is
equipped with a chrome luggage rack and silver 8-spoke alloy wheels
in the classic Minilite style, offering a period-correct aesthetic
with improved handling over the original steel wheels. The chrome
bumpers remain free of the large rubber overriders found on most
U.S.-spec cars, giving it a sleeker, more European appearance.
The interior retains hallmark TR6 features like the wood dashboard,
Smiths analog gauges, and a 3-spoke steering wheel, while
brightwork throughout-including the windshield frame and door
handles-presents in clean condition. A fully independent rear
suspension and front disc brakes round out the driving experience,
offering confident handling for weekend drives or vintage rally
events.
The TR6 is one of the most iconic British roadsters of the 1970s,
known for combining old-world charm with a brawnier, more
aggressive design than its predecessors. It represents the final
evolution of the traditional British sports car before the arrival
of stricter regulations and modernization. With its straight-six
engine, rear-wheel drive layout, and timeless styling, the TR6
holds a special place in enthusiast circles as one of the last
truly analog sports cars of its kind.
As a later-model TR6, this car benefits from final refinements in
chassis and build quality while retaining the raw, engaging
character that defines the series. The cohesive color combination,
mechanical soundness, and thoughtful presentation make this example
a standout choice for anyone seeking an honest, collectible, and
enjoyable classic roadster.
