"1972 Triumph TR6 Roadster
""The world was about to be hit with the first oil price shock of the early '70s, which impacted the UK in the form of a devastating house price slump, devalued wages, and what economists call ""stagflation"", where even politicians folderol made no difference to the prosperity and wellbeing of the nation. Fripperies such as TR sports cars were the last thing on people's minds, though in America, where the oil price impact was less and folks struggled to keep their hands in their pockets, the TR6 did well."" Hagerty.com, August 2023 ""In Defense of the Triumph TR6""
For consignment, a 1972 Triumph TR6 roadster showing 22,284 miles, but the true miles are unknown. TR6's have quietly become hot sellers at Classic Auto Mall. Every single one that we've represented has found a new home, and we hope to keep that streak alive with this one, the first '72 model we've hosted here in our Hallowed Halls! This well sorted car has had more than $3,000 worth of maintenance done in 2021.�
Exterior�
We've seen them in just about every color and this one presents nicely with a coat of dark maroon.�It's unmistakable TR face begins with the wide set round headlights, here missing their trim rings, bookending a rather narrow grille over amber marker lights and a wrap- around chrome bumper. Of course, the TR6 denotation is in the center. There's a distinctive squareness to the tail, rectangular tail lights over the wrap around bumper and upturned quad tailpipes for some aggressive sportiness. The 16-inch Panasport wheels also contribute to a more forceful stance, here with a slight lift over the rear wheels. A black canvas top is in good condition with one small tear, but clear windows and the only other imperfection is a touched up area at the top of a wheel opening.�
Interior
Black vinyl lines the doors with simple panels and map pockets and stylish bucket seats are also dressed in black with sporty patterned inserts and smooth side bolstering. They are in near perfect condition save for an unfortunate tear on the driver's seat where the upper meets the lower. The wood rimmed steering wheel presents vertically to the pilot, framing a wood backed dashboard and a simple array of gauges, large speedometer and tach in front, operational monitor in small circles to the right. The glove box fits like a puzzle piece in the wood and it's all framed in black plastic that cascades down and just past the horn button is the shifter, a wood handled affair with a black boot in the hard plastic casing, and other than some patina on the handle, all presents clean and tidy. Black loop carpet floods the floor topped by Triumph mats and the cargo area also benefits from carpet coverage. A surprisingly roomy trunk is clean and has a fitted carpeted mat.��
Drivetrain
Refurbished and presented cleanly is the 2.5 liter inline six cylinder under the hood, rated at 104 horsepower and fueled by a pair of rebuilt Zenith Stromberg carburetors. It's mated to a 5-speed manual transmission from a 1974 Toyota Celica and power is routed to the rear wheels with 3.80 gearing in the axle. This car has disc brakes in front and in back. Pop the hood, this engine bay and its newer aluminum radiator is nice enough to show off!�
Undercarriage
Minimal surface rust and just a touch of oil is present in this clean underside. Headers lead to the dual exhaust running in tandem to the back, where they split off and flow through stock style mufflers before ending with dramatic, upturned exhaust tips. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and semi-trailing arms and coil springs on the independent rear suspension. The knuckles are spotless and along with the CV joints and axles, have some newer parts.�
Drive-Ability
It's easy to see why these are so sought after. In the world of British roadsters, the six cylinder provides quite a kick in comparison and moves confidently through our test loop, surefooted on 215/60R16's and benefitting from the 2021 work. The only item we find not working are the tail lights. All other items check our boxes and operate. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.�
In a weird twist of near fate, the last TR6 was produced on July 14, 1976, just ten days after the Bicentennial during which we celebrated our independence from England. Well, it's time to reunite and do so with this venerable Triumph TR6. Well sorted and collectible, this car is ready for patriotic Americans to take the wheel and declare your own fun filled independence. That said, we're not against repatriating this vehicle and sending it to Great Britain if the buyer resides in the UK!
