Triumph TR6
If the Spitfire was Triumph’s roadster for the masses, the TR6 was a car for serious lovers of open-air driving and speed. And while the Spitfire was underpowered despite it weighed only 1,500 lbs, the TR6 had decent power and convincing performance numbers straight out of the box. The TR6 was a successor to the TR5 and U.S.-market only TR250, which shared basic construction, dimensions, and design.
The TR6 debuted in 1968 featuring disc brakes all around and an independent suspension. Also, it has a 2.5-liter straight six engine that produces 145 HP. Thanks to the weight of just under 2,200 lbs, the TR6 is agile. In fact, it was among the fastest power roadsters on the market in the late ’60s.
Production ended in 1976 after they made more than 90,000. So today, the TR6 is a popular choice for classic roadster fans that want old school looks and feel with decent performance numbers.
