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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
The 1969 Triumph TR6 Roadster is one of Britain’s most iconic sports cars, blending classic styling with a raw, engaging driving experience. Introduced as the successor to the TR5/TR250, the TR6 featured updated styling by Karmann while retaining the robust mechanical foundation that made Triumph roadsters so coveted among enthusiasts. This example, showing just 26,501 miles, presents beautifully in Signal Red and captures the essence of vintage open-top motoring. With its inline-six engine, manual transmission, and lightweight construction, the TR6 offers a pure, analog driving experience that has become increasingly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The 1974 Triumph TR6 represents one of the final evolutions of Britain’s classic roadster formula—simple, mechanical, and built purely for driving enjoyment. With just 43,019 miles, this example stands as a well-preserved piece of analog motoring history, finished in the highly desirable Mimosa Yellow over a black interior. Known for its torquey inline-six and unmistakable styling, the TR6 became a favorite among enthusiasts for its balance of performance and character. This particular car retains its classic charm while benefiting from tasteful upkeep, making it an excellent choice for collectors or anyone looking to experience vintage open-top driving at its finest.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!

Ah, Triumph. One of those sadly defunct British sports car makers responsible for giving us some truly awesome pint-sized roadsters to drive enthusiastically. The British really got the whole less is more thing down to an art form during much of the 20th century. They perfected the recipe of small dimensions, modestly-sized but revvy engines and chuckable driving dynamics to a great extent. The Triumph GT6 was something a little more than your typical British sports car. For starters it was a proper, fixed-head coupe and it came with a straight six under the hood. That’s what we have for sale today, a 1973 Triumph GT6 from Clearwater, Florida. It’s got just over 33,000 miles, a 2.0-liter straight six, a manual gearbox and all the charm you’d expect from a classic British car. Why not make it your own, then?
