One of the world's largest motorcycle companies, Triumph Motorcycles has its roots set in 1885 when it was founded by Siegfried Bettmann as the New Triumph Company Limited, along with the Triumph Motor Company, which became defunct in 1984 and is currently dormant under the auspices of BMW who own the marque, hopefully, the brand will be revitalized and launched anew. The Triumph TR6 is a 2-door roadster built from 1968 to 1976. Up for grabs is a 1972 Triumph TR6 in excellent condition and reportedly with 65,000 miles on the odometer.
The TR6 was a far call from its predecessor, the TR5. It featured a new design language along with new colors. This 1972 Triumph TR6 sports a clean blue exterior finish. The front features a classic setup of round headlights flanking a chrome grille with the TR6 logo in the center. Lower, you'll find a gleaming front chrome bumper. The sides are bereft of any ornamentation apart from the TR6 on the Union Jack decal on the rear quarter panels and the chrome side mirrors. The rear is reminiscent of the BMW 2002 car, as it features a horizontal taillight design with a chrome rear bumper. The seller reports that the front and rear have been re-chromed hence their new look. The car is topped with a new black convertible top, while it sits on a set of aluminum mag wheels with the TR6 on the center caps. The interior features a spotless white décor which is new, with a walnut veneer over a plywood dashboard. Behind the 3-spoke steering wheel can be seen the speedometer and tachometer. Auxiliary gauges are located in the center of the dash; the stock radio has been replaced with a Pioneer head unit with a CD player.
Triumph cars were known for their nimbleness and their capacity to zip around. The 1972 Triumph TR6 came equipped with a 2.5L inline-6 engine while the only transmission option available was a 4-speed manual that sends power to the rear wheels. The seller reports that the car is equipped with dual Weber carburetors. The TR6 carbureted version was known to have an output of 106hp out of the factory with a 120 mph top speed.
We’ve got a soft spot for British roadsters. That’s because these cars offer exciting driving experiences at legal speeds. You don’t need high triple-figure horsepower outputs to have fun; a British roadster such as this 1976 Triumph TR6 Convertible can make 50mph seem positively exhilarating. So why not pick up this car, with its all-original interior and period fittings? It will make a great weekend driver, for when you need to get away from it all for a digital detox.
When it comes to classic sports car manufacturers, Triumph stands out as one of the greats. The Triumph motor company has manufactured cars since the 1920s and carved out a niche for itself under British Leyland in the 1960s, producing some of the best-loved sports cars of its generation. The TR series of roadsters were known for being some of the best and last analog roadsters in existence. The simple formula of a rear-wheel drive, open-top, two-seater was enough to propel the TRs into the hearts and minds of many. The Triumph TR6 was one of the last of the true analog sports cars and was a hit in the United States. It features crisp and modern styling compared to the TR5 it replaced, as well as a 2.5-liter straight-six engine with the relatively new advent of fuel injection under the hood. Our featured car is resplendent in red and features a reportedly low mileage of 72,000.
Convertible or open-top motoring is often considered the purest way to experience the essence of driving. If you're yearning to explore the world of convertible motoring, the 1972 Triumph TR6 may be your perfect companion. This British classic roadster offers an opportunity to travel back to the golden era of British motoring.
Triumph is one of those great British brands that was under British Leyland. Well-known for their TR series of sports cars, the TR7 was one of the last before the brand was shelved in 1984. Sporting a characteristic wedge shape, the TR7 was introduced to the public in 1974, and would sell until 1981. This particular car is a 1976 Triumph TR7 with 81,000 miles, and is reported to have all its maintenance up to date. Therefore, it’s an excellent classic car to buy and drive if you’re a fan of British sports cars, and enjoy a thrilling drive down your favorite winding road on the weekends.
Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
What do you get when you imbue an Eighties car with Twenties (no not Twenty Twenties, but Nineteen Twenties) styling? That’s precisely what Excalibur aimed to do. This Milwaukee-based outfit was the work of Clifford Brooks Stevens, who initially designed the cars for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to create them by himself. Sadly, the project wasn’t as successful as all involved would have expected, and after several failures, Excalibur folded in 1990. Of course, that hasn’t stopped others from creating replicas, such as this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. Built on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS chassis, this 17,688-mile automobile awaits its new owner in Williston, Vermont. It is often said that imitation is the best form of flattery, so the fact that someone built a replica of the Excalibur means that the car is worth checking out. If you’re the kind of person who lusts after the quirky and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what many consider a ‘classic’ or ‘modern classic’, why not buy this car and become its custodian?
The Chevy Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie’s contender in the compact car space between 1962 and 1979. It was quite a departure from Chevy’s other offerings that included full-size and midsize cars, plus sports, muscle and pony cars. Nevertheless, the Nova was a best-seller throughout much of the Sixties, since it represented affordable motoring for the masses who didn’t want a land yacht of epic proportions and eye-watering price. Now, the Nova is a great classic car, as well as a fine restomod platform. This particular 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is a great example of the latter category, as it’s undergone a full restoration and has just 400 miles on its stonking new motor.
