1973 Triumph

STRIKING 1973 TRIUMPH TR6 ROADSTER IN ORIGINAL 'SAPPHIRE BLUE' COLOR WITH ITS ORIGINAL BLACK INTERIOR & FULLY LOADED WITH THE RARE & DESIRABLE FACTORY OVERDRIVE OPTION!!

West Coast Classics are proud to present a superb and great daily driving example of this 1973 TR6 Roadster Convertible in its original striking 'Sapphire Blue' color paint with a Black interior with a Black soft top and tonneau cover and fully loaded with the rare factory overdrive option which was a very desirable feature because it gave drivers close gearing for aggressive driving with an electrically switched overdrive which could operate on second, third, and fourth gears on early models.

This is obviously one rare and highly desirable classic British sports car - a completely rust free example of the legendary chrome bumper TR6 roadster! The trunk, floor boards, rocker panels and all the typically rust prone areas are all completely solid and rust free - an obviously always garaged example that has survived intact!

The original 'Sapphire Blue' (color code 96) color paint is in simply stunning condition and the interior is also quite extraordinary with its original Black (trim code 11) bucket seats and matching door panels, a lovely original steering wheel and original wood dashboard. The Black color soft top is as new and the car has its original tonneau cover, original wheels and its original spare wheel its storage compartment in the trunk. The 2.5L 6 cylinder engine purrs quietly under the hood and the 4 speed manual transmission with factory Overdrive shifts smoothly through the gears - an absolute pleasure to drive!

The Triumph TR6 was introduced in 1969 and was a smoothly redesigned successor to the TR5/250. It was facelifted by Karmann of Osnabruck, the legendary German coachbuilders. The TR6 was produced by Triumph until 1976, with the later year models suffering from the same dismal fate of so many other marques of the period, with safety regulations enforcing uglier bumpers and weaker engines. Therefore these 'early' TR6's with the attractive chrome bumpers have proved the most desirable and have gained the common acceptance amongst enthusiasts as being the last true TR.

The TR6 also featured and independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15-inch wheels and tires, pile carpet on floors and trunk/boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instrumentation. Braking was accomplished by disc brakes at the front and drums at the rear.

Without a doubt this will prove to be one rare piece of British motoring history - a beautifully unrestored example of an early chrome bumper 1973 Triumph TR6 with factory overdrive, a perfect example for any Triumph enthusiast or simply any classic British sports car lover to enjoy today!
