DESCRIPTION
1974 Triumph TR6 Roadster
For consignment, a 1974 Triumph TR6 roadster with a title verified 45,343 actual miles, in a stunning shade of blue, and coming to the buyer with a matching accessory hardtop along with the standard canvas top. This is a clean little Brit, presentable for show, but also representing a great driver.
Exterior
It\'s called French Blue, but it could easily be a more British name, which is a light blue with a subtle chalk undertone. This fantastic hue is a great match for the black components of the exterior which include the rear fascia, the grille, the enormous bumperettes, and the canvas top. Tri-colored tail lights latch on to the rear corner and present side markers while the flat deck lid creates a smooth plane for the air to flow from. Single headlights in front flank large amber markers below and bear rounded fender tops that lift from the hood, creating a graceful undulation across the width of the front. 15-inch wheels carry TR6 text on the center caps and wide beauty rings that give the wheels depth. A Union Jack decal with TR6 is on each rear quarter panel providing a bit more red to the sea of smooth blue on this roadster. There\'s some discoloration on a horizontal surface and a couple of tears in the plastic window of the top, but the remainder of paint and metal are in great condition.
Interior
Simple, intact, black vinyl door panels fill the inner door with the driver\'s side showing just a bit of looseness. Inside, the high backed black vinyl seats are in fantastic shape and are adorned with head restraints and a horizontal stitched pattern on the inserts. Patina coats the metal spokes of the steering wheel which fronts a wood dashboard that spans the width and appears to have been cut from one tree. It houses the gauges, indicator lights, knobs, switches, and of course, the glove box and it all looks very clean. The center stack contains an AM/FM radio and you\'ll have to reach behind the wood handled shifter to change the channel. Low pile black carpet covers the floor in good condition and continues to the cargo shelf behind the seats. The trunk is lined with plastic walls and a rubber mat and is relatively clean.
Drivetrain
A driver quality but clean 2498cc inline 6 cylinder is under the hood, fed fuel by dual Zenith Stromberg carburetors and set into motion with a 4-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels and 3.80 gears. The miniature brake booster means that power brakes are onboard with discs in front and drums in the rear.
Undercarriage
Driver quality here as well with surface rust on many surfaces, some drops of oil in front and a decent amount on the rear differential. Surface rust coats the dual exhaust as well, which enters a stock style muffler before exiting as two and heading out back. Suspension consists of coil springs in front and semi trailing arms with coil springs in back and both ends are independent.
Drive-Ability
This low mileage British roadster doesn\'t disappoint with go kart like handling, quick shifts, and a comfortable cabin. The car tracks straight, looks great, and has plenty of acceleration that is sufficient enough to elicit smiles from both occupants. All of the functional items on board work as intended and we row this Brit back to the mall so it can take its rightful place on the floor. 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. Low miles, two tops, and well sorted, 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!
