The Triumph TR6 is a British six cylinder sports car and was the best-seller of the TR range built by Triumph when production ended in July 1976. A total of 94,619 TR6s were produced. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the TR5, but the front and back ends were squared off, reportedly based on a consultancy contract involving Karmann. This is referred to as a Kamm-style tail, which was very common during 1970s era of cars. All TR6 sports cars featured inline six-cylinder engines and Lucas fuel injection. This car also features a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive - a very desirable feature giving drivers close gearing for aggressive driving with overdrive available on 3rd and fourth gears, yet "long legs" for open motorways. This TR6 also features semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15-inch (380 mm) wheels and tires (which also come with vehicle), pile carpet on floors and trunk/boot, bucket seats, and a full complement of instrumentation. Braking was accomplished by disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. A factory hardtop also comes with vehicle. The TR6 construction was fundamentally old-fashioned: the body was bolted onto a frame instead of the two being integrated into a unibody structure; the TR6 dashboard was wooden (plywood w/ veneer). The TR6 can accelerate from zero to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.2 seconds and has a top speed of 120 mph (190kmh) This is my dream car that I have to let go. It's been a project for a few years. The car runs and starts. All you have to do is body work, rusted frame, upholstery, conv. top, tires and hardware. If you spend about $4,000 on the restoration you'll have a really nice collectible or sell for a profit. I've seen them go for $12,000 on ebay finished. Of course showroom finish can go for twice that amount.Again, CAR NEEDS A LOT OF WORK. So look carefully at the pictures. Front chrome bumper is good. Rear one is dented. I'm compiling a complete list of what I've done and what the car needs. The car would also be good for parts for anyone restoring a Triumph TR-6. The pictures speak for themselves. Also video avail. upon request.
