Triumph TR6
As the final evolution of the traditional body-on-frame TR series, the TR6 is a beloved British roadster that's defined by its 2.5-liter straight-6 engine. A key market distinction exists between the potent 150 hp fuel-injected European models and the less powerful 104 hp carbureted US versions.
Triumph TR6 sold for a median of $17,250 over the last 12 months, based on 123 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $13,172 and $22,618. 210 currently for sale.

The Triumph TR6, produced from 1969 to 1976, was the final evolution of the traditional body-on-frame TR series. It was a clever restyle of the TR5/TR250, with German firm Karmann redesigning the front and rear ends while retaining the core body structure. All TR6s used a 2.5-liter straight-6 engine, but European models received a 150 hp Lucas fuel-injection system while US-bound cars were fitted with Stromberg carburetors, producing a more modest 104 hp.
Collectors appreciate the TR6 for its blend of classic British roadster charm and usable performance. It's a very direct and engaging car to drive, with a fantastic exhaust note from its six-cylinder engine. Compared to its predecessors, it's more refined, but it still offers a raw, analog experience that modern cars lack. Strong club support and excellent parts availability make it a relatively easy classic to own and maintain.
Buying Tips
- Frame rust is the biggest issue; thoroughly inspect the rear trailing arm mounts and the cruciform plates.
- The crankshaft thrust washers are a known weak point. Check for excessive end float by pushing and pulling the front crank pulley.
- Rear differential mounts can fail. Look for cracks in the frame brackets and listen for clunks on acceleration.
- If equipped with overdrive, ensure it engages and disengages smoothly in 3rd and 4th gear without slipping.
