Unveiled in 1969 as the successor to the TR5, the Triumph TR6 is one of the most iconic examples of British roadsters from the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Whilst it retains a technical platform closely derived from the previous TR models, its bodywork has been thoroughly modernised. The styling was entrusted to the German coachbuilder Karmann, who gave it its more taut and angular lines, characterised in particular by a wider front end and a truncated rear.
Under its long bonnet sits the traditional 2,498 cm³ Triumph inline six-cylinder engine. Paired with a four-speed manual gearbox, the TR6 could also be fitted with an overdrive, a feature of which this particular example is equipped. The combination of the six-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive and open-top bodywork plays a major part in defining this model’s character.
The TR6 is built on a separate chassis and incorporates the independent rear suspension first introduced on the TR4A. It was originally fitted with disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear.
Produced until 1976, the TR6 represents the culmination of a generation of six-cylinder Triumph roadsters and now benefits from an extensive network of specialists and spare parts.
