Introduced in January of 1969 Triumph replaced the popular TR5 (TR250 in the US) with the TR6. The TR6 carried a very similar shape to the previous model but had a different front and rear re-design done by Karmann. The TR6 carried the familiar 2.5 litre straight 6-cylinder engine and was one of the faster and more agile of the few remaining true British roadster. By 1973 Triumph had made some changes with the gearing and suspension improvements making the car handle and perform even better. A small lower spoiler was also added underneath the front chrome bumper to help with aerodynamics. Many enthusiast and collectors believe the TR6 to be one of the last of the true “Hairy Chested” British roadsters. The TR6 embodies the no nonsense pure driving experience that only a British roadster can give you.

Up for sale is an amazing example of a 1974 Triumph TR-6. This car drives phenomenally, and shifts smoothly.

Previous owner was the owner of an Aamco transmission shop in Idaho. The only known issue of the car mechanically, is the heat is inoperable. The convertible top, and interior are virtually brand new. Vehicle has very sought-after Panasport racing wheels, wrapped in virtually brand new tires. This is virtually a rust-free TR-6. Paint is in phenomenal condition. If you look close you will find very minor imperfections, but this is going to be about as close to showroom condition as you will find.

***Update*** I recently took the car on it's first summer drive through the mountains (60+ miles), at around 95 degrees. Oil pressure and temperature were rock solid for the entirety of the trip.

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.
