Its sports cars having relied exclusively on four-cylinder engines for the preceding decade-and-a-half, Triumph turned to six cylinders to extend the life and improve the performance of the much loved 'TR' series. Similar to the preceding four-cylinder TR4A - the first TR with independent rear suspension - but with Triumph's 2.5-liter, six-cylinder engine installed in place of the old 2.1-liter four, the TR5 was produced during the 1968 model year only (October 1967 to November 1968) pending the arrival of the TR6. Restyled for 1969 by Karmann of Osnabruck, the TR6 sported a full-width nose and squared-off tail. Under the skin the chassis remained basically the same as its independently-rear-suspended TR4A ancestor's while the 2.5-liter Lucas fuel-injected power unit was unchanged. Handling was improved over that of the TR5 courtesy of wider wheels and a front anti-roll bar. Good for 120mph with acceleration to match, the six-cylinder TRs are arguably the most exciting Triumphs ever made, continuing to enjoy an enthusiastic following world-wide and an excellent network of spare parts and service providers. The superb TR6 we offer is presented in the very rare and desirable factory magenta color. Completed in February of 1973, the car has been carefully maintained and garage kept. A new battery and high-torque starter make for a reliable start every time, while the carburetors have been carefully tuned to ensure that the car runs and idles smoothly, as the vendor reports it does. An Alpine stereo can supply the tunes, even at highway speeds. To top it off, a quality respray has been applied to really make the rare color scheme pop out even more, lest you fear your TR6 not get enough attention at the British Car Meet as one of the only ones in this particular color. If you're looking for a wonderful British sport car to get in and go, this is a magnificent opportunity. Without reserve
