Vehicle Description
The Triumph TR6 is one of the last great British roadsters. It
combines the features we enjoy like the powerful and lively
six-cylinder motor with the comfort of a full interior. But most of
all, it doesn't betray the sprightly nature that makes us fall in
love on the backroads. That's why we love to find this turnkey
smile machine available at an affordable price.
We often see these drop tops in red, green, or white, so it's
distinctively nice to see this Triumph in its factory-correct shade
of Mimosa Yellow. It's this bright color and solid body that really
let you appreciate the details of the roadster. The design was a
continued evolution of the TR series, but now it had more muscular
fender lines. Even the little details are aggressive such as bright
trim ring around the wheels that are reminiscent of Chevy's rally
package. But there was also not mistaking its heritage with a flat
Kamm-back treatment that was also seen on the larger Triumphs of
the day. There's a minimal amount of brightwork to keep these cars
uncluttered, but this one has been maintained properly to keep
shiny parts looking their best on everything right down to the
luggage rack. The result is a car that looks great on the open
road, and that's exactly where this droptop belongs.
The interior is another hallmark of the great British roadster.
With a wood patterned dashboard full of original Smiths gauges, it
definitely has a hand-crafted European feel. And this wood also
sets the tone for the chestnut vinyl bucket seats, door panels, and
boot cover - all of which still carry a quality feeling today. And
while we know you'll love this for the open-top experience, the
black vinyl folding roof fits nice and snug. Plus, it matches the
darker exterior elements like the A-pillar and grille, so you look
great no matter if the roof is up or down.
British roadsters are often known for their fun on the road despite
being typically underpowered. That's why the TR6 is so coveted. It
has a 2.5-liter inline-six that doesn't suffer from this anemic
reputation, and it's one of the larger motors out of the iconic era
of sprightly roadsters. This is the original motor to the car, and
one look at the engine bay, and you can see it has received a lot
of care and attention over its lifetime. In a car that weighs
barely 2,500 lbs, it has quick acceleration and the power to keep
pulling well into highway speeds. Part of this versatility comes
from the control you get with 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 handles in this
lightweight roadster. And even when stopping, control is well in
hand with front disc brakes and classic redline tires.
Complete with owner's manual, owning a British roadster is a sign
of distinction, and it only gets better with a ready-to-run Triumph
in a distinctive factory correct color. We'll even keep the secret
of how little you paid to get all of this. Call today!!!
