1973 Triumph TR6 - HIGH CLASS RESTORATION SOLD

HISTORY OF THE TRIUMPH TR6

The Triumph TR6 (1969–76) is a British six-cylinder sports car and the best-seller of the TR range. It is a powerful classic iconic roadster. Nowadays it has highly collectible status. The Triumph TR6 was considered a modern classic throughout its entire 1969 to 1976 production run. With its timeless Michelotti styled body, Karmann added passion, sturdy build and throaty six-cylinder power engine the TR6 is the heart of British sports cars of an era gone by. All TR6 sports cars featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market the engine was carburetted. Twin Stromberg-carbureted engine used a 74. 7 x 95mm bore and stroke and 8. 5-compression to make 104hp at 4, 500 rpm and 143-lbs. ft. of torque at 3, 000 rpm. A four-speed manual gearbox with optional Laycock de Normanville overdrive was the sole transmission choice, and front disc and rear drum brakes hid behind wider 15 x 5. 5-inch steel wheels. A new anti-roll bar in the double wishbone and coil spring front suspension worked in concert with the carry-over trailing-arm and coil spring independent rear suspension to upgrade the TR's already agile handling. It is known that if you find an original TR6 with matching engine and commission numbers, you need to know that they should be fairly close in number, but will never match.
