Vehicle Description
For many, the Triumph TR6 is the pinnacle of the traditional
British roadster. It has a powerful inline six motor that makes a
perfect sound as you tick through the gears, while enjoying the
curvy backroads. It only gets better when you can get your hands on
a highly original 1972 model for a terrific price.
While all classic British roadsters are attractive, this one has
something a little extra going for it. The Pimento Red paint has a
bit of an older luster that tells you there is some history to this
car, and we even suspect it could be original. In fact, this
Triumph has had the same owner since 1975, which lets you know it's
been under long term care. And you can even see that in the details
like the Allegheny Airlines parking sticker on the front bumper
(they changed their name to US Air in 1979.) Besides just careful
history, you're going to appreciate the coordination in the
appearance. The black pinstripe that runs the full length of the
car does a nice job of uniting the grille, A-pillar, and flat Kamm
back into one cohesive design. And it also ensures this convertible
looks great with the top up or down.
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. Everything has a deep,
dark appearance, including the bucket seats, carpeting, and door
panels. Even the matching vinyl convertible boot cover has a
refreshing crispness that tells you this one has been well looked
after. And for those times when you get caught out in wet weather,
the black vinyl folding roof fits nice and snug.
The TR6 is a favorite on American roads because it Is one of the
most powerful cars to come out of the sprightly British sports car
era. The 2.5-liter inline-six back by dual Stromberg carburetors
knows how to move the lightweight TR6 with quick acceleration and
sustainable cruising speeds. Best of all, you are in complete
control of this eager motor thanks to 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 sprightly droptop. And even when stopping, control is well in
hand with front disc brakes and the grip of modern BF Goodrich
tires.
This Triumph has so much originality that we even believe the
mileage could be accurate. It has been cared for by the same owner
for over four decades, which is the kind of history we all love.
And the fact that it's so affordable should be your reason to hurry
before this road-carving classic is gone. Call today!!!
