The Triumph TR6 was the best-selling Triumph in history when production ended in 1976, but was later surpassed by the TR7. More than 94,000 TR6s were built.
The TR6 was a refined sports car. It featured pile carpet on floors and boot, plush-looking bucket seats, a lovely wooden dashboard and a full complement of instrumentation.
In the US, it featured the six-cylinder engine that was carried over from the TR250, while the UK version had a more powerful fuel-injected engine from the TR5 that included the Lucas mechanical fuel injection system. It traces its lineage back to the four-cylinder Triumphs: TR4, TR4A, TR3/TR3A and TR2.
This stylish six-cylinder sports car is regarded by some as the last true Triumph. Others argue that the TR7 and TR8 that followed were far ahead of their time.
