1976 Triumph TR6 Roadster For Sale This 1976 Triumph TR6
is a Federal-spec, carbureted example from the model's final year
of production, finished in green with a tan leather interior. The
TR6 carried the TR4/TR5 platform forward under a squared-off,
Kamm-tail body developed with German coachbuilder Karmann, and 1976
closed out that shape before Triumph moved to the very different
wedge-bodied TR7. The odometer shows 58,000 miles, exempt from
mileage disclosure as is standard for a vehicle of this age.Power
comes from Triumph's 2.5-liter overhead-valve inline six, fed
through the twin Zenith-Stromberg carburetors that were standard
equipment on US-spec CF cars, producing a claimed 104 hp, known for
being simpler to keep sorted than the mechanical injection system.
Power reaches the road through the factory 4-speed manual
transmission and a rear end geared at 3.70:1, a ratio that keeps
the six comfortable at highway speeds without hunting for gears.
The car starts right up and drives the way a well-sorted TR6
should, with plenty of torque and none of the hesitation a
neglected 50-year-old British car can develop.Braking is handled by
front discs and rear drums, riding on 15-inch wheels. Inside, the
tan interior has been fitted with new upholstery on both the seats
and the manual convertible top, giving the cabin a clean, fresh
look while the factory dash layout, wood-veneer trim, and full
instrument cluster remain intact.The TR6 was Triumph's best-selling
TR model at the time production ended in 1976, a record later
surpassed by the TR7, with total production commonly cited around
94,600 cars. The majority of those, like this one, were carbureted
Federal-spec cars built for the US market rather than the
fuel-injected cars sold at home. Between the inline six, four-wheel
independent suspension, and a shape that still draws a crowd
decades after Karmann drew it, the TR6 remains one of the more
accessible ways into classic British sports car ownership.NFI
