The Triumph Motor Company is one of those British manufacturers who made quirky little sports cars and roadsters equipped with modestly-powered but lively engines, manual transmissions, and low weights. These characteristics make them a hoot to drive on twisty roads, often at or near full throttle! What we have here is a 1974 Triumph TR-6 from Virginia. The TR-6 ran from 1968 to 1976, and if you are looking for a pert little British roadster, this car fits the bill, and the seller states that service records are available.
The TR-6 was styled by Karmann of Germany, based on an earlier Michelotti design, which this 1974 Triumph TR-6 proudly showcases with its red paintwork. It’s reported to have been re-painted sometime in the early Nineties, and comes with a black convertible top, black rollbar, chrome luggage rack and bullet-style mirrors. It rolls on 15-inch silver steel wheels, and twin chromed tailpipes peek out from the back and sing their song. Did you know that this car is just 155.5 inches (3.95 meters) long? That’s shorter than many subcompact cars! The tan interior was refreshed in 2016, seats two occupants on leather seats and you face a wood-trimmed dash. A sporty three-spoke steering wheel and a comprehensive set of gauges are present, and this car has received a modern upgrade in the shape of a Pioneer radio with CD player.
Triumph cars were known for having relatively diminutive engines in comparison to the larger displacement powerplants that American cars enjoyed, but this 1974 Triumph TR-6 comes with a relatively stout 152ci (2.5L) straight six from the Triumph Six Cylinder family. It’s mated to a four-speed manual transmission and drives the rear wheels. Whilst UK cars came with Lucas mechanical fuel injection and produced 150hp, US market cars came with dual carburetors and produced 104hp. Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes help bring the car to a halt, and this car has had an oil change, new battery, fuel pump and fuel filter in 2020.

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 was a brand of sports cars made by the Standard Motor Company of Britain. Renowned for their diminutive dimensions, perky engines and thrilling driving experience at relatively low speeds, British sports cars, particularly British roadsters from the fifties through the eighties, were a wonderful place for petrolheads to be. These cars were the very antithesis of America’s muscle cars, and proved that you could have a lot of fun without large, thirsty V8s and massive car bodies. The TR3 was one of Triumph’s best-sellers, and we’ve got a 1960 Triumph TR3A Convertible up for sale right now. The current owner tells us that it’s received a new facelift, making it ready to be your faithful weekend drive companion.

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.
