1970 Triumph TR6
Overview
This 1970 Triumph TR6 is the quintessential classic British sports car offering no-frills manual transmission convertible motoring. Previously repainted, its Laurel Green exterior was available from 1969 to 1971 only, complemented here by Black vinyl upholstery. The dashboard brings natural tones with a non-glare walnut finish. Passenger appointments further include a locking glovebox, sun visors, and an aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo. Just over 55k miles are indicated by the odometer.
.
The TR6 remains a notable standout design from the German bodymaker, Karmann. Flat-topped styling and leading lines are remembered today as emblematic 1970s design and a golden era boom for British roadsters. Its 2.5-liter I6 engine and 4-speed manual transmission delivered potent performance for its time and price point. Front disc brakes, independent rear suspension, and rack-and-pinion steering developed in house by Triumph were critical to the tactile driving thrill of a car weighing less than 2,500 pounds.
.
An early production example, this TR6 represents an iconic Triumph with an enthusiast cult-following. Rain or shine, this roadster arrives ready for miles of less-is-more enjoyment.
