You may have heard of the British motor company called Triumph. The company’s got a history dating back to 1885, although the company stopped producing cars in 1984. Currently, the brand is owned by the BMW Group. The Triumph TR6 is a sports car that they introduced in 1968, as the predecessor to the TR5, or TR250 as it was known in the USA and Canada. The TR6 ran until 1976 when the TR7 replaced it. If little, open-topped British sports cars are your thing, we’ve got this 1972 Triumph TR6 Convertible in inventory right now. The car comes from Georgia with a reportedly numbers-matching engine and transmission, and the seller states that it ‘purrs like a kitten’. Furthermore, it’s said that all wearable items have been replaced.
The design of a Triumph sports car is unmistakable. In stark contrast to the large and broad American cars, the Triumph is just 155.5 inches or 3.99 meters long, shorter than many current subcompact cars. It’s width of 61 inches of 1.55 meters means that you can easily place it on narrow roads as well. This 1972 Triumph TR6 Convertible has been repainted in British Racing Green and looks stunning with its low stance, front fog lamps and chrome bits. The wheels are 15-inch silver alloy units wrapped in tires that are reportedly in great shape. A chromed rear luggage rack completes the look. The Camel colored cockpit features accommodations for two, on leather seats with modern three-point seatbelts. Clear and easy-to-read gauges for speed and revs face the driver, whilst the other gauges sit in the center console. The dash features walnut veneer wood trim, and there is a radio and blower/heater unit present as well.
Pop the front-hinged hood of this 1972 Triumph TR6 and you are greeted by its 2.5L straight six engine that sends drive to the rear wheels via a four speed manual gearbox sans overdrive. Whilst UK-market cars were endowed with Lucas mechanical fuel injection and produced 150hp, the US-market cars were twin-carbureted and produced 111hp as a result, giving a zero to sixty time in the region of ten seconds. The seller reports that the engine and transmission have never been rebuilt, the car has received a new clutch in 2019 after which it has been barely driven, and it’s also received new plugs, wires, and hoses. Braking is via discs at the front and drums at the rear.

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.
