To modernise the Triumph TR5 that had evolved from the
Michelotti designed TR4. Triumph looked to produce a new modern
body. Triumph commissioned Karmann of Germany but the task was
difficult as Karmann had to produce a new body style whilst
retaining much of the original structure. The re-style included a
new nose. wings and a new tail. The result was the 'Kamm' tailed
TR6 which was produced between 1969 and 1976 and became the best
selling Triumph at the time with 94. 19 units sold. The TR6
featured the in-line. six-cylinder engines from the TR5 and in the
US. the engine was fuelled by carburettors whilst cars supplied
around the rest of the world. including the UK. were fuel injected.
The home market TR6 initially produced 150bhp but was later detuned
to 125bhp. Due to their greater power output. the early models are
sought after amongst the Triumph enthusiasts.

This Damson Red TR6 with biscuit interior has been subject to an
older restoration some five years ago. which can be seen from a
photographic record and receipts within the history file. As
such. this example presents extremely well but despite this. the
current vendor has undertaken further work to ensure this car is
truly a credit to him. spending some £3. 00 on a new gearbox and
overdrive unit along with other upkeep work. again. all documented
in the history file. The bodywork is very good as you would expect
from a body-off restoration and. given the restoration worker was
somewhat of a Triumph enthusiast. the drive. we are told. is
equally as impressive. Offered with full wet weather gear including
tonneau cover. Mot test certificate until April 2016 and presented
in such splendid condition. this is truly a gem of an English
sports car.
