The Appeal

The Triumph TR6 remains one of the most desirable British sports cars of its era, its muscular Karmann-designed bodywork housing a generous 2.5-liter inline six-cylinder that delivers strong torque and offers straightforward, hassle-free driving that remains highly coveted—a true antidote to the age of electric vehicles and complicated options. Produced for only seven years, the TR6 remains incredibly popular; an icon of pure driving pleasure.

This 1972 example, finished in red with a black interior, has benefited from considerable recent investment. A complete overhaul was performed in 2024, encompassing the front suspension, entire braking system, engine and differential mounts, and all hoses. The interior was retrimmed at the same time, and the engine was rebuilt in 2018. The seller describes the mechanics as lively and responsive, with honest and sound handling.
