Vehicle Description
1975 Triumph TR6 Roadster The world was about to be hit with the first oil price shock of the early '70s, which impacted the UK in the form of a devastating house price slump, devalued wages, and what economists call stagflation, where even politicians folderol made no difference to the prosperity and wellbeing of the nation. Fripperies such as TR sports cars were the last thing on people's minds, though in America, where the oil price impact was less and folks struggled to keep their hands in their pockets, the TR6 did well. Hagerty.com, August 2023 In Defense of the Triumph TR6 For consignment, a 1975 Triumph TR6 roadster showing 2,187 miles which are not actual. In the realm of British sports cars, the boxy little roadster is a well balanced, spry two seater that's enjoyed by an active group of enthusiasts across the country and across the pond! Exterior A nice coat of White paint is a great match for the polished components of the exterior which include the bumpers, grille, rocker panel trim piece, headlight rings, and door handles. Tri colored tail lights latch on to the rear corner and present side markers while the flat deck lid creates a smooth plane for the air to flow from. Single headlights in the front beam over two tone marker lights below the bumper, and the headlights bear rounded fender tops that lift from the hood, creating a graceful undulation across the width of the front. 15-inch wheels are adorned with TR6 text on the center caps and wide beauty rings that give the wheels depth. The black canvas top provides nice contrast as well and is in good condition except for a tear near a window. A highlight of the car has to be the extended quad chrome tips that point slightly skyward, as if ready to launch this roadster. Overall, the exterior is straight and in good condition with some bubbling noted down low and some rust on the pinch weld. Interior Simple, intact, black vinyl door panels fill the inner door looking tight and clean while the high backed black vinyl seats are in fantastic shape and are adorned with head restraints and a horizontal stitched pattern on the inserts. There's a hint of waviness in the driver's insert, but otherwise no tears are noted. A nice wood and steel steering wheel fronts a wood dashboard that spans the width and its fine grain appears to have been cut from one tree. It houses gauges, indicator lights, knobs, switches, and of course, the glove box and it all looks very clean. The center stack contains an AM/FM/CD radio and you'll have to reach behind the wood handled shifter to change the channel. Low pile black carpet covers the floor in good condition with mats on top and that carpet continues to the cargo shelf behind the seats where a pair of external speakers reside. The trunk is lined with plastic walls and a rubber mat and is relatively clean. Drivetrain A driver quality but clean 2.5 liter inline 6 cylinder is under the hood, fed fuel by two SU carburetors and set into motion with a 4-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels and 3.80 gears. This engine is rated at 104 horsepower and those galloping gears are slowed by power brakes with discs in front and drums in the rear. Undercarriage Driver quality here as well with surface rust around the underside and a few drops of oil in front. Surface rust coats the dual exhaust as well, which come from factory headers and enter stock style mufflers before exiting a four pipes out back. Suspension consists of coil springs in front and semi trailing arms with coil springs in back and both ends are independent. Drive-Ability This British roadster doesn't disappoint with go kart like handling, quick shifts, and a comfortable cabin. The car tracks straight, looks great, and has plenty of acceleration that is sufficient enough to elicit smiles from both occupants. All of the functional items on board work as intended and we row this Brit back to the mall so i |
