The traditional design, mechanical reliability and parts availability make the easy to own and enjoy. For these reasons, they have become proven investments. The 1973 TR6 offered here has been the recipient of a complete high quality restoration completed approximately 2 years ago. It is finished in very attractive Garnett Red Pearl exterior paint over saddle tan interior with black vinyl reflective top. It is powered by its rebuilt 2.5 liter engine fed by its signature dual Stromberg Carbs and intake, 4 speed transmission and rear wheel drive. The interior is all new with all correct materials featuring high back seats, Smiths gauges, correct new tan carpeting, wood dash fascia, JVC sound system, high quality wood steering wheel, roll bar etc. The exterior paint is to die for. The Garnett Red Pearl affect paint lays very flat, very glossy and jumps in the sunshine, and the silver competition stripe package give this TR6 a definite edge in the curb appeal department. The engine bay is highly detailed and features all new hoses, clamps and hardware. An aluminum valve cover dons the top on the engine, the shroud is new etc. Other mechanical highlights included new cam, new brake master cylinder, new drums, new springs, new bearings, new cam, tappets, new vacuum advance, headers, exhaust etc. The underside is finished off and all the suspension pieces, grommets, bushings, etc. are new at the time of restoration. The performance of this cool TR6 is amazing. The car accelerates strong through all gears, the suspension and steering is tight giving timely feed back to the driver, and the car brakes most excellently. This TR6 is a high quality as well as a car that is a blast to drive. These cars continue to be undervalued as the European sports car market remains on fire. No wrong decision here.

About Triumph
Triumph, a name synonymous with classic sports cars and innovative designs, has a rich and storied history in the automotive world.The Triumph story began in the late 19th century when the company originally produced bicycles and then expanded into motorcycles. However, it was in the 1920s that Triumph ventured into the production of automobiles. Over the years, Triumph became renowned for its high-quality vehicles that combined performance with style.
One of Triumph's most iconic models was the TR3, introduced in the late 1950s. It was a classic British sports car, loved for its simple yet elegant design and thrilling driving experience. The TR3 was a symbol of affordable sports car enjoyment, and it set the stage for a series of successful TR models, including the TR4, TR5, and TR6.
In addition to sports cars, Triumph made a name for itself with Michelotti-designed sedans. The Triumph Herald, introduced in the early 1960s, was a compact family car that boasted stylish design and solid engineering. Later on, the Triumph 2000 and 2500 sedans catered to a more upscale market and earned a reputation for their comfortable rides and elegant looks.
However, despite its successes, Triumph faced numerous challenges over the years, including financial difficulties and ownership changes. In the 1980s, British Leyland, the company that owned Triumph, underwent significant restructuring, and the Triumph brand was gradually phased out.
The demise of Triumph was indeed sad and, to some extent, disgraceful. The company that had produced beloved sports cars and well-regarded sedans was slowly fading away. In 1984, the last Triumph-badged car rolled off the production line, marking the end of an era.
Although the Triumph name disappeared, its legacy lives on. Enthusiasts and collectors continue to cherish classic Triumph sports cars like the TR3, TR6, and Spitfire, as well as the unique charm of Triumph sedans. Triumph remains a symbol of British automotive heritage and the enduring appeal of classic sports cars.
In conclusion, Triumph's history is a blend of classic sports car excellence and innovative sedan design. Its sad and disgraceful demise serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many automakers over the years, but the spirit of Triumph lives on in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
