Triumph TR6 15 inch 2.5L 4-speed beautiful specimen (1969)

Vehicle description

The Triumph TR6, which was considered original English abroad, was the most successful of all TR models. Paradoxically, of the almost 100,000 roadsters built, not even ten percent found buyers in England, but the Briton was particularly popular in the USA. Based on the chassis of the TR4, Karmann designed an attractively smooth body in Osnabrück. The in-line six-cylinder was equipped with a mechanically working Lukas injection (USA models were equipped with a double carburetor), to the improved handling contributed an independent suspension with trailing arms at the rear. For the four-speed transmission, there was an optional overdrive. Like all TR, the TR6 embodies a robust piece of technology in which everyday practicality ranks above sophistication.
