r000 The Triumph 19XX TR6 Make was the Model most popular product offering in the<br />

estimate: $000 000 - $000 000<br />

TR range by the time production ended in mid-1976, with a<br />

offered without reserve<br />

total production of 91,850 units. all TR6s featured the virtually<br />

bulletproof inline six-cylinder engines, which put out a stout<br />

106 horsepower in naturally-aspirated, U.S.-spec form. The TR6<br />

featured a four-speed manual transmission with optional overdrive,<br />

which lent itself to long cruises on rolling country roads or higherspeed<br />

motorway travel.<br />

This example is a great original that was purchased by the museum<br />

from its first and only owner. Finished in the highly desirable Pimento<br />

Red, it is nicely optioned with the overdrive transmission, in addition<br />

to a factory hard top. The odometer reads a mere 6,712 miles,<br />

and aside from now having only two-owners, it comes with the<br />

original invoice from George Byers volvo-Triumph Inc. in Columbus<br />

ohio, which details its original specifications, including the $225<br />

overdrive, the $265 hard top, and other items that brought the<br />

purchase price to $6,858.<br />
